Director of Performance and Operations

“To measure is to know. If you cannot measure it, you cannot improve it.”

Lord Kelvin

For me, these words capture the essence of performance optimization. From the laboratory to the sports field, measurement is the foundation that turns effort into progress and ambition into results.

My journey began with what many would consider an unusual pairing: electrical engineering and sport science. At first glance, they belong to two different worlds, but in practice, they have given me a unique perspective—one rooted in precision, structural thinking, and the relentless pursuit of optimization.

As Director of Performance and Operations, I focus on connecting technology, data, and human performance. Whether analyzing an engine—fuel injection, thermal behavior, powertrain efficiency—or assessing respiratory, circulatory, and metabolic responses in an athlete, my goal is the same: to uncover insights that drive efficiency and unlock peak performance. As a runner, I know what it feels like to push limits, chase marginal gains, and balance determination with strategy. I’ve learned that progress is never just about training harder—it’s about structuring smarter, using data as a compass, and shaping performance through a holistic, evidence-based approach.
