Why I fit
What this role asks for, and where I've done it
The role is to partner with EMEA business leaders, run a portfolio of digital transformation projects through stage-gate governance, bridge business and technology, and drive the adoption that makes the change stick. That's the work I do now. Here it is, point by point against the posting.
01 / Required
Cross-functional digital transformation delivery
I take strategic priorities and turn them into delivered change across product, tech, data and commercial. I scope to the smallest thing that proves value, then scale what works, exactly the end-to-end ownership this role needs.
Proof: lead AI-driven business transformation at Swiss Post today; ran new-product pilots from MVP to launch inside Die Mobiliar, one of Switzerland's largest insurers.
02 / Required
Project & portfolio management through stage-gates
I manage several initiatives at once and move each through clear gates: validate, business-case, build, pilot, scale, with a go or no-go decision at every step. The board further down this page is exactly how I run it.
Proof: governed a portfolio of internal ventures from validation to scale at Sparrow Ventures; ran staged market pilots to launch at Die Mobiliar.
03 / Required
Bridging business and technology
I translate a business need into a practical digital solution and back again. I sit with engineers on the real constraints, then carry the trade-offs up to leadership in plain language. Being that connective layer is the part I'm best at.
Proof: owned the e-commerce platform and roadmap for a CHF 100M+ business at ifolor; build hands-on with modern data and AI tooling today.
04 / Required
Stakeholder management, up to senior leaders
I influence decisions across functions without owning every team, the core skill in a matrixed organisation. I've made the case to C-level and investors, held the line on scope, and kept partners aligned to one outcome.
Proof: reported to C-suite at ifolor; owned the UBS and Baloise partnerships at Brixel; raised two funding rounds as a founding team.
05 / Required
Analytical, data-driven decisions
I define success up front and let the evidence decide. I'm comfortable in analytics and SQL-level questions, A/B design and reading the numbers to find the gap, the risk or the opportunity, then acting on it.
Proof: lifted conversion 9% and the checkout step rate 15% through research, A/B testing and analytics at ifolor.
06 / Required
Process improvement & change adoption
A digital solution only counts when people use it. I find the process to fix, design the change with the people doing the work, run the rollout and enablement, and track adoption honestly, the wins and the misses both.
Proof: led cross-functional teams and external agencies at ifolor; built the go-to-market and adoption engine that grew WePractice to 23 people across 10 locations.
