I've spent 16 years building data capabilities inside global organisations, leading teams, architecting platforms, and making data genuinely useful for the people who depend on it.
Based in Zurich, I've spent 16 years inside organisations rather than observing them from the outside. I've built data teams from scratch, shipped platforms under pressure, and sat in the room when strategy meets operational reality.
"Good data strategy is not about technology. It is about trust. Helping an organisation trust its own data is the hardest and most valuable thing I do."
Most recently as Head of Data at FIFA, I led 40+ professionals to deliver the real-time infrastructure powering the 2022 World Cup. Before that at Education First, I grew from Business Analyst to Director, building the instincts that only come when you've been accountable for the outcome, not just the recommendation.
Every engagement is shaped around your specific situation, whether you need clarity on where to go, an architecture that will hold up, or someone to step in and lead. I work with organisations at any stage of their data journey.
Define a board-ready data strategy anchored in your business realities. Capability assessment, gap analysis, prioritised roadmap, and executive alignment.
Scalable, integration-first architectures, Data Hubs, Lakehouse patterns, event-driven platforms, from concept through tech stack selection to deployment.
Available immediately as interim Head of Data or CDO. I lead teams, make decisions, and ensure continuity from day one while you find your permanent hire.
Strategic advisory on data-driven transformation covering architectures, value propositions, and keeping data initiatives aligned with business objectives.
Navigate the data complexity that follows an M&A. I help organisations harmonise platforms, unify governance frameworks, and integrate disparate systems into a coherent data landscape.
Governance frameworks, cataloging, and quality processes that build lasting organisational trust in data without the bureaucratic drag that slows teams down.
End-to-end cloud data stack on Azure or AWS, ingestion, transformation with dbt, orchestration via Airflow, and serving through Snowflake.
Streaming solutions with Apache Flink and Event Hub. Battle-tested at World Cup scale I know what it means when failure is not an option.
Turn your data into decisions. I help organisations build the analytics foundation and the internal capability to use it so that dashboards get acted on, self-service actually works, and data becomes part of how your people think.
Sixteen years of progressive data leadership across global, high-complexity organisations, from Lisbon to Zurich, from telecoms to the FIFA World Cup.
Led FIFA's Data Department through a period of major transformation, managing 40+ professionals and taking full ownership of strategy, platforms, analytics, and governance. Started as architect and grew into the leadership role that shaped how FIFA uses data across the organisation.
Built and led the analytics function at EF, delivering platforms and initiatives with measurable business impact.
Supported data transformation initiatives through client proposals and executive presentations on Data Strategy, Integration, and Platform implementation. Shaped solution architectures and aligned data initiatives with client business objectives.
Client-facing consulting across telecoms and insurance. Delivered Revenue Assurance solutions, system integrations, and a customer portal, developing the analytical foundations and stakeholder skills that have underpinned everything since.
Whether you have a clear brief or just a problem worth discussing, I'm happy to have a conversation. Available immediately for consulting, advisory, and interim mandates across Switzerland and remotely.
