Executive Overview

For over 25 years, I’ve worked at the crossroads of technology and business, leading digital transformation efforts that deliver impactful results. I’m a strategic, hands-on technology leader who thrives on solving complex problems, building strong partnerships, and helping businesses grow through digitalization and data-driven insights. Throughout my career, I’ve taken on challenges that require both vision and execution—from reimagining R&D through initiatives like the “Lab of the Future” to transforming procurement organizations and developing AI tools that unlock knowledge across the enterprise. I care deeply about building teams that are empowered, collaborative, and motivated to make a difference. Today, I have a dual role a Business Segment CIO and Digital Strategy Leader at Chemours, helping to drive innovation within the APM business and across targeted functional domains of R&D, Procurement, Finance, HR, and Communications. I’m always open to connecting with others who are passionate about using digital technologies to shape what’s next.
