Market Director Automotive, Manufacturing, and Energy & Utilities EuropeAs Market Director Automotive, Manufacturing, and Energy & Utilities at Thoughtworks, I partner with OEMs, industrial leaders, and energy players to translate technology ambition into measurable business impact.
With an academic background in Technology and Innovation Management and more than 20 years across professional services and IT, the focus has consistently been on enabling digital transformation in complex, real-world environments. The scope spans AI-enabled software engineering, software-defined vehicles, legacy modernisation, and data-driven platforms.
One conviction shaped over the years: organisation beats technology — even the most advanced digital solution creates little value without real organisational adoption.
