After 15 years in top leadership roles like CEO, COO, Group CTIO and holding Board positions at some of the world’s largest telecommunication companies, working in more than 11 countries & 4 continents across the world, I believe that people with growth mindset, innovation & embracing diversity in its full extent, can make a significant positive impact to our surrounding societal ecosystems. My passion is about building and coaching teams that are hungry, curious, and hardworking, with an aim of developing next generation of tech-savvy talents. I also believe that in order to be relevant in the rapidly changing world, one needs to start with customer use cases, understand deeper technology trends and be able to think outside of the box (clean-sheet approach). Outside of technology, I love cooking vegetarian meals with my family and enjoy macrobiotic way of lifestyle, as it helps make our world a much healthier and a more sustainable place.
