The Pop in Your Job
What I enjoy most about my role is the opportunity to sit at the intersection of technology, strategy, and risk. I’m driven by the challenge of making sense of complex software licensing models—especially in the context of cloud and cybersecurity—and turning them into clear, actionable strategies that bring value to the business. I love working cross-functionally, connecting procurement, IT, legal, finance and security teams to ensure that we’re not only compliant and cost-effective, but also resilient in the face of vendor and regulatory changes. Every negotiation, audit, or cloud migration is a chance to learn something new and improve how we operate. What motivates me is the ability to influence long-term decisions and help organizations build smarter, more secure digital foundations—while keeping things practical and efficient.
