About
As Managing Director & CTO at VML, I align technology and business strategy to deliver sustainable, profitable growth. I lead the technology division with full P&L responsibility and a mandate to turn innovation into client value.
With 10+ years in technology and 15+ years across business, law, and consulting, I bring technical depth, commercial judgment, and leadership experience into one operating view.
Outside work, I stay close to film, cinematography, street photography, technology, motorsport, and cycling - things that sharpen how I observe, learn, and think about systems.
