Vision to Reality

“Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.”

About Me

My story

Executive leader with 25+ years of international experience spanning IT distribution, SaaS, and cybersecurity. Two decades at Ingram Micro in progressive leadership roles across Europe and the Americas, from directing €1B purchasing operations to redesigning global sales processes, built a foundation in scaling complex, multi-country businesses.

Known for taking full ownership of both strategy and daily operations from day one. As CEO of AllUnited, I led a business transformation that put the company on a financially healthy footing with a clear path to scalable growth, combining sharp financial discipline with a strong sense of customer value. I thrive in environments that call for change: simplifying complexity, setting clear priorities, and creating the conditions for both people and results to grow. Today I bring that same approach to Nautilus OT, driving international growth in the OT cybersecurity market.
