Senior Deep-Tech Executive | Board Chair & Board Member

Tech 1 2048x1829

I’m a senior deep-tech executive and board member recognised for scaling businesses and organisations through complex industrial transformations. I bring strategic clarity, operating judgment, and a strong execution focus to fast-moving, complex environments.

I serve as Senior Vice President at Airbus, where I set direction and governance for advanced technology, innovation strategy, and venture portfolio oversight across civil, defence, and dual-use domains. My role includes accountability for delivering technology and new business model development into operational and business impact, spanning strategic positioning, portfolio-level capital decisions, and the operating discipline that moves capabilities from development into industrial deployment.

Alongside my executive responsibilities, I serve as a board chair and non-executive director across deep-tech companies in AI and physical AI, robotics, next-generation batteries and energy storage, and advanced materials, including pre-IPO companies. My board work focuses on capital allocation, scale-up governance, technology commercialisation including licensing and business model development, M&A oversight, and public-market readiness.

Earlier in my career, I held senior leadership roles at Qualcomm, Siemens, and Dräxlmaier Group, building and scaling technology-driven businesses across automotive and consumer electronics, leading market entry and growth, and delivering results at scale.
