About

I help enterprises reduce software licensing risk, control costs, and turn IT asset management into a strategic advantage. As a Global Delivery Lead in IT Advisory, I work with complex, global organizations to bring clarity to fragmented IT environments, strengthening compliance, minimizing risk exposure, and unlocking measurable savings. I lead global teams delivering licensing advisory, managed services, and audit defense, with deep expertise in IBM licensing and multi-publisher environments. I’m passionate about bringing SAM, procurement, and FinOps together, helping organizations break silos and create a more connected, outcome focussed approach to software spend. My focus is simple: move organizations from reactive compliance to proactive, value-driven ITAM.
