The common thread throughout my career has been helping people solve complex technological challenges while creating new opportunities for innovation and business growth. As a Naval Architect with more than 25 years of experience in project management, business development, and leadership within a contract research and R&D environment, I combine deep maritime domain expertise with a strong passion for digital transformation. Throughout my career, I have focused on improving engineering and design processes, leveraging data and technology to create tangible business value, and supporting teams in adopting new ways of working. As Head of Digital Services at MARIN, I am responsible for the organization's digital strategy, data platforms, high-performance computing environment, IT infrastructure, and associated governance. Together with my team, we enable MARIN's business units and their clients to develop cleaner, safer, and smarter ships through advanced simulation, data science, and digital engineering solutions. My professional interests lie at the intersection of technology, people, and innovation. I enjoy connecting business needs with technological possibilities and helping organizations navigate digital change while maintaining a strong focus on delivering measurable results.
