The business–IT bridge

I'm a digital technology and transformation leader based in Athens, Greece, with 9+ years of experience across software delivery, international digital programmes and enterprise platform governance.

At PUIG Derma, across APIVITA and URIAGE, I operate with Head-level functional scope, governing a €1M+ digital portfolio through strategy, roadmap prioritisation, CAPEX/OPEX oversight, vendor management and executive decision support.

I also work hands-on with AI transformation: developing API-connected agents and workflows that connect Confluence requirements with Asana task generation, and advancing discoverability through Schema.org, indexing and structured product FAQs — with corporate data-access safeguards.

My software development background helps me translate technical complexity into decisions. Seven years as a co-founder/operator sharpened my commercial judgement, service design and ownership of real outcomes.

I combine enterprise governance, practical automation and international matrix leadership to make digital transformation executable.

Communication range
Greek — Native English — Fluent (C2)

Basic German, French & Spanish for greetings, small talk, and relationship-building in international environments.

I bring strategic clarity, technical fluency and real business ownership to enterprise transformation.

I work across executive decisions, financial governance, technology delivery and the people connecting them. From governing a €1M+ portfolio to building API-connected AI workflows, I combine strategy with execution rather than treating them as separate disciplines.

“Strategy that aligns. AI that works. Governance that delivers.”

How I create control in complex digital work

01

Clarify the real objective

Separate what stakeholders ask for from what the business actually needs.

02

Map the delivery system

Identify owners, vendors, platforms, dependencies, environments, risks, and decision points.

03

Turn ambiguity into governance

Create the roadmap, budget view, scope logic, escalation path, and delivery rhythm.

04

Align stakeholders and vendors

Connect business, IT, finance, legal, and external partners around one executable path, with clear ownership.

05

Protect the outcome

Challenge assumptions, control costs, unblock teams, and keep decisions connected to business value.

Turning complexity into executive clarity

Enterprise transformation depends on more than technology. It requires one coherent view of priorities, platform constraints, vendors, investment, dependencies and leadership decisions across multiple brands and functions.

I connect business, IT, finance, cybersecurity, analytics, content and external delivery partners — while introducing practical AI automation where it can improve execution. The result is clearer governance and better-informed decisions.
