- Process Transformation (Validation): Spearheaded a transition to Risk
Based Validation (RBV), focusing testing on vital, essential, and
compliant components. This strategic shift reduced validation efforts by
75% (from 4 weeks to 1week). - Global Deployment Efficiency: Optimized production deployment lead
times, reducing the window from 5 days to just 2 days. This allowed for
significantly higher release frequency and faster time-to-market for
critical production software. - Agile Leadership & Coaching: Coached cross-functional teams to
leverage Continuous Improvement (Kaizen) and CI/CD mindsets.
Established a "feedback-loop" culture that resulted in the team
becoming measurably faster and more precise with every release
cycle. - Strategic Stakeholder Management: Managed complex relationships across international production sites, specifically receiving high commendations from site leads in Chartres (France) and Tianjin (China) for improving software reliability and deployment speed.
- Backlog & Economic Prioritization: Directed backlog prioritization for 4global sites using MoSCoW and ROI analysis. Balanced local site requirements with global business goals to ensure maximum production uptime.
- Governance & Compliance: Led 10+ FATs and 5+ SATs with external
vendors, ensuring al implementations met stringent regulatory standards
while incorporating site-specific feedback into future iterations.

- Strategic Agile Transformation: Spearheaded the Agile maturity journey for the OTE-COE department, transitioning legacy workflows into high velocity Agile frameworks. Mentored a leadership cohort of 4 Scrum Masters, 3 Product Owners, and a Product Manager on value-stream mapping and Lean-Agile mindsets.
- Dual-Role Leadership (The PO Pivot): Proactively assumed the Product Owner responsibilities during a critical vacancy to ensure continuity. Leveraged my BSc in Economics to realign the product roadmap with strategic objectives, ensuring the development team remained focused on high-ROI features and business-critical deliverables.
- Scaled Agile Facilitation (SAFe): Orchestrated 8+ Program Increment(PI) Planning sessions and Inspect & Adapt (I&A) events. Successfully mapped complex cross-team and external dependencies for global teams, ensuring synchronized delivery across the ART (Agile Release Train).
- Operational Efficiency & Flow Metrics: Implemented data-driven
performance tracking using Velocity, Cycle Time, and WIP (Work in Progress) limits. By identifying and removing systemic impediments, I improved the team's predictable throughput and reduced "waste" in the SDLC. - Technical Vendor & Release Coordination: Acted as the bridge
between development and operations during 10 FATs and 4 SATs.
Coordinated with external vendors (SOFAST, ATEC) for PLC components and internal partners (GITTO, PAS-X) to ensure seamless IT/OT integration. - Culture & Psychological Safety: Facilitated a high-trust environment for a geographically dispersed team of 7 engineers. Through structured retrospectives and conflict resolution, I increased team engagement and established a culture of continuous improvement and psychological safety.

development and operational reality by conducting 3 User
