About Prema
Senior IT Delivery Leader & Scrum Master (PSM II) with over 16 years of international experience orchestrating high-value digital transformations, multi-project portfolios, and cross-functional engineering squads.
Throughout my career—including strategic leadership tenures at top-tier Swiss IT consultancy ELCA—I have specialized in turning around disengaged environments, scaling operations from startup to enterprise levels, and breaking down organizational silos to drive seamless cross-border delivery.
Currently, at Iubenda, I am driving Agile modernization by embedding structured Scrum frameworks across technical divisions and pioneering the integration of advanced generative AI tools (such as Jira AI, Claude, and Slack AI) to optimize delivery velocity and eliminate operational friction.
My leadership approach balances strict, data-driven governance with deep empathy. I am passionate about mentoring the next generation of project managers, establishing transparent KPI frameworks, and aligning technical execution directly with client business growth.
⚙️ Core Expertise:
• Agile & Scrum Modernization (PSM II Certified)
• Multi-Project Portfolio Governance (Up to 13 concurrent initiatives managed)
• Team Scaling & Leadership Development (Mentoring Associate PMs & Scaling hubs from 2 to 30+)
• Client Relationship Management & Consultative Pre-Sales
• AI-Driven Project Management Workflows
