The Architect

I build systems that hold when everything else breaks.

From leading 700+ participant disaster simulations across 37 nations to managing €25M yearly budgets and 36 contracts at the Council of the EU. I've spent 17 years in rooms where failure isn't an option. EU Secret clearance. €247M procurement experience.

Currently Technical Project Manager at the Council of the European Union. Chief Exercise Controller for EU MODEX. UEFA B licensed coach. Ready for the next challenge: AI governance, satellite systems, or something truly interesting.

"A crisis is a team problem. You need clear strategy, effective communication, and absolute trust."
