About Adam
Most AI and data programs don't fail because of the technology. They fail because nobody in the room can translate between the engineers and the business. That's the gap I have spent the last 10 years learning to close.
I am a Senior Data & AI Project Manager focused on enterprise AI/ML delivery, cloud migration and large-scale data platform programs across international environments. I have led cross-functional teams, operating at the intersection of technical execution and business priorities. I have been close enough to the architecture to challenge it and accountable for delivering the roadmap.
At MediaMarktSaturn, I led 8 AI/ML initiatives processing more than 12M product records weekly across Europe. This included an ML-based product categorization system reaching 97% accuracy, while improving team delivery velocity by 20% over six consecutive quarters.
At Edenred, I led a Talend-to-Azure migration program across 24 countries supporting 9M daily CRM transactions, delivering a production-ready MVP in 8 weeks against a 12-week target.
Across these roles, I have managed and worked closely with engineers, data scientists, MLOps engineers and product stakeholders in complex international environments where alignment and execution matter as much as technical design.
I work best on projects where complexity is high and delivery matters :
• Multi-country rollouts.
• Cloud transformations.
• AI products moving from proof of concept to production.
I bring PMP discipline, cloud experience across AWS, Azure and GCP and a strong focus on keeping stakeholders aligned when things get complex.
If you are hiring for an AI/ML delivery lead, senior data project manager or technical PM who can align executives, architects and engineering teams around execution and delivery, Feel free to contact me, I will revert back to you under 1 hour.
