Chief Technology Officer
GFT Logistics
I have worked with data for nine years. Today, as a technology executive, my job is to turn scattered data into a decision infrastructure people can trust, to embed AI into daily operations rather than leave it on a slide, and to make digital transformation a change in how the company actually works.
I began my career as a data analyst and worked across very different industries — fuel distribution, station technologies, asset management and logistics. In each of them I asked the same question: what does this company base its decisions on, and is that decision really grounded in reliable data?
Over time, data warehousing and business intelligence moved to the centre of my work. Modelling on SQL Server, ETL processes with SSIS, the reporting layer, and the automation that keeps all of it running. The deeper I went technically, the clearer it became that the value is not in the query itself, but in how quickly the decision it feeds can be made.
Today I serve as Chief Technology Officer at GFT Logistics, where I lead the technology strategy. I bring data infrastructure, artificial intelligence, systems management and software under a single roadmap, and position technology as a lever for growth rather than a cost line. That requires technology to speak the language of the business — and a good part of my time goes exactly there.
I have worked on every link of the chain that collects, cleans and turns data into decisions. Today I am on the side that leads that chain.
Technology strategy and roadmap, prioritising software and infrastructure investments, managing teams and vendors. Treating digital transformation not as a project title but as a lasting change in how the company works.
Enterprise data warehouse design, dimensional modelling, end-to-end ETL flows with SSIS, and a reporting layer the business actually uses.
AI-supported workflows, automation of repetitive operational processes, and Python-based solutions that cut down manual workload.
T-SQL, stored procedure design, query performance, locking and concurrency behaviour; building structures that hold up as data volume grows.
Nine years from analyst to technology leadership.
