Über Joce

Over 15 years leading complex initiatives across Europe and the UK, helping organizations turn ambitious digital goals into operational reality. Deep expertise in scaling data teams, implementing AI governance frameworks, and driving measurable performance improvements.

I help organizations navigate data operations, AI implementation, and digital transformation. My work centers on translating strategic ambitions into operational execution - whether that's optimizing delivery models, building governance frameworks, or developing capabilities for AI adoption.

I've worked across financial services, public sector, and technology companies.

Recent work includes:
  • Scaling international data operations, achieving 35% productivity improvements through AI-enabled workflows
  • Reducing manual effort by 50% while delivering €450K in annual efficiency gains
  • Leading digital transformation programs worth €4M+, consistently exceeding delivery targets
  • Implementing governance frameworks and operational excellence programs for high-growth environments

Areas of focus:
  • Data operations leadership • AI strategy and implementation • Digital transformation • Process optimization • EU AI Act compliance • Team scaling and performance management • Change leadership
Approach:
  • I work with organizations at inflection points - whether scaling operations, implementing AI strategies, or transforming delivery models
  • Combining strategic thinking with operational execution to drive results that matter.
