Leading Product, Technology & Data teams in Poland, Czechia, Hungary and Romania; formulating and executing the technology strategy for all products and the main platform while improving delivery excellence.

Successfully changing the structure and operational model of the Product & Technology team to ensure predictable delivery, forge data and technology strategy aligned with the local and global short and long-term business goals.

I built a technology delivery organization by utilizing internal and external hiring and organizational changes during the agile transformation of Magyar Telekom (MT). I actively participated in the agile transformation program from September 2018 until April 2019 when we launched 4 tribes including the Digital Platform Tribe, an organization of 14 local teams (~150 people) and 4 additional teams (~40 people) abroad. As the leader of the Digital Platform Tribe, I was responsible for the delivery of high business value software projects (webshop mobile application) while revamping the software architecture and laying the foundation of new, cloud-based, scalable, flexible, and reusable IT systems.

Highlights: Successfully landed a long-term project with a big European car manufacturer after several rounds of meetings and negotiations where we not only had to prove the capabilities of our product, but the capabilities of the engineering team as well. Responsibilities: Organize and manage the work of the software engineering unit with the introduction and drive of scaled agile methodologies while remaining compliant with automotive standards (i.e. ASPICE) and delivering on time. Based on interviews with customers and the product management I had to establish a proper IT strategy and scale up the team to efficiently support the incoming requests for product customization.

Introducing, deploying and following new processes (by applying the most suitable means from SAFe and DAD) in an organization of ~70 software engineers for efficient and transparent planning and execution of cadence deliveries.

Plan and implement test automation strategy and related processes for the core product of NNG together with the implementation and introduction of the continuous integration and continuous delivery pipeline and test automation framework.

I was responsible for planning and executing the implementation and verification activities of a large-scale program of Thalesgroup in which we delivered major features for several European railway companies. My tasks included finding the possible synergies among different technical requirements and managing teams of software engineers.
