Strategic Defense Leadership & Organizational Innovation
Independent Advisor | Former RAND Senior Analyst
Transforming complex defense challenges into strategic opportunities through 15+ years of proven acquisition expertise, organizational transformation, and data-driven leadership across NATO, DoD, and global defense initiatives.
A Career Defined by Strategic Impact
Bridging Strategy & Execution
As a DAWIA Level II certified program manager with Prince 2 credentials and a Doctorate in Business Administration focusing on strategic leadership, I bring a unique blend of academic rigor and operational excellence to every engagement.
My career spans critical roles across NATO headquarters, Defense Contract Management Agency, and most recently as Senior Analyst at RAND Corporation (through November 2025), where I shaped defense policy and acquisition strategies at the highest levels.
Now operating as an independent strategic advisor, I leverage this extensive background to help defense organizations navigate complex acquisition challenges, implement transformational change, and build resilient operational frameworks.
