About me

I’m a fintech product and security leader at Unioni Financiar Prishtinë, where I guide Product Development and services and protect them as CISO. I love digging into problems, planning deeply, bench-marking the best methods, and building warm, inclusive teams that turn big ideas into solid products. Years of working with both technical and non-technical colleagues have made me fluent at translating business needs into clear engineering tasks, cutting confusion on every project.

Besides UFP, I ran Vaiu Kosovo, delivering a token-based digital-cash app. My career began in telecom with Kosovo Telecom and IPKO, spanning IT infrastructure, business-support systems, product strategy, technical sales and project management. Along the way I earned certifications in ITIL v4 and ISO 27001, and I keep a sharp focus on paytech, fintech and Banking-as-a-Service.

Core strengths: requirements analysis, product development, prototyping, architecture integration, team leadership, marketing insight and relentless problem-solving.

Highlight: Winner, Elevator Lab 2020 for an app that digitizes and tracks children’s spending.
