About Me

The experience behind the expertise

I'm a technology executive with over a decade of experience building and scaling engineering organizations in fast-paced environments.

As the former CTO of Rohlik Group, a leading European e-grocery unicorn, I led the technology transformation that supported the company's growth from €22M to €712M in revenue. I built and managed a team of over 220 engineers, drove expansion into 5 European markets, and successfully navigated challenges like COVID-19 crisis management and multiple fundraising rounds (Series B, C, D, and E).

Currently, as SVP of Engineering at Shipmonk, I lead a 90+ member product development organization across the US and Europe, continuing to improve development productivity and set processes for scale.

My unique value lies in the intersection of e-commerce expertise, fulfillment and logistics automation, and people-first leadership. I've been on both sides of the table — as a hands-on engineer, as a manager, and as an executive board member.

Now, I share this experience with other technology leaders who are facing similar challenges on their journey.

People First

Great technology is built by great teams. I believe in empowering people and creating environments where engineers thrive.

Data-Driven

Decisions backed by metrics, not just intuition. I help establish the right KPIs and measurement systems for engineering excellence.

Pragmatic

No ivory tower theories. I bring real-world solutions that have been tested in high-growth, high-pressure environments.
