Professional summary

I am an IT/OT service delivery leader with more than 25 years of technology experience, including over 15 years supporting mining operations. I manage critical services with a focus on operational continuity, high availability, service levels, and executive stakeholder relationships.

I have led IT and OT teams of up to 100 professionals and managed annual OPEX and CAPEX budgets of up to USD 4 million. My experience includes SLA, KPI, incident, capacity, change, vendor, contract, and service governance management.

I deliver digital transformation, infrastructure, cloud, applications, industrial automation, and operational technology projects from business case development through implementation, change management, and transition to operations.

I work across IT/OT environments including SCADA, DCS, PLCs, industrial networks, IIoT, cybersecurity controls, IEC 62443, and the Purdue model. I have maintained service availability of up to 99.8% and implemented operational dashboards for continuous service monitoring.

I combine strategic planning with hands-on operational leadership, using practices such as ITIL, Scrum, Kanban, and Azure DevOps. I am currently developing an independent technology consulting practice focused on IT/OT strategy, project management, digital transformation, and OT/ICS remediation.
