About

I'm the CEO of CoreHR, a B2B HRM SaaS platform developed within FRACTAL, with full P&L ownership across product, sales, marketing and hiring. CoreHR combines core HR operations with AI-driven engagement surveys, OKR and KPI performance management, and personality analytics.

I have 8+ years in product and executive leadership. Before CoreHR, I served as CEO, Deputy CEO, CPTO and Head of Product within the TECHIIA group, across UAV systems, payments and fleet-management software.
