About
With more than seven years of experience as a Product Owner, I have successfully led product development across various context, including watchmaking industry, aviation, and standardization. I specialize in bridging business goals with technical execution, delivering innovative products that meet both user needs and industry standards. Throughout my career, I have been working with international teams and stakeholders to deliver value-driven solutions that align with both business goals and customer needs. Passionate about technology both professionally and personally, I also run a homelab where I experiment with emerging tech and solutions.
