About
I turn complex technology into profitable, scalable businesses. With 25+ years leading cross-regional teams across semiconductor, consumer electronics, IoT, and healthcare, I deliver system-level innovation into revenue-generating products that survive scale, manufacturing realities, and global markets. Most notably, I served as the Architect Lead for the original Philips Digital Photo Frame, a category-defining launch that achieved over €200M in revenue. I operate at the intersection of product strategy, system architecture, and business execution, leveraging APAC supply-chain ecosystems, strategic partners, and ODM/OEM networks to accelerate time-to-market, reduce commercialization risk, and maximize P&L outcomes. I excel in new business creation, category-defining launches, and transformation initiatives where deep technology must meet commercial performance — building sustainable, measurable growth for organizations.
