About me
I am an engineer by training, holding two degrees in automotive engineering. After graduation, I began my career in embedded software, service, and testing for a pioneering heavy-duty earth-moving machinery manufacturer. Witnessing the pivotal role of market-driven business strategy in product success, alongside technical innovation, I pursued an MBA at Oxford to develop business-oriented skillsets.
Subsequently, I transitioned into business development and product strategy roles at one of the UK's largest independent drone companies, where I gained experience in both defense and civilian sectors. Currently, at MST, I leverage my combined technical and strategic expertise to accelerate the introduction of innovative technologies and products into the market.
