About Zoyos Photography
About Me

I solve complex operational problems — structured, fast, and with lasting impact

As Head of Operations, I lead 60 employees and oversee IT, Sales, Marketing, Production, and Project Management. My core competency lies in combining Operational Excellence, team leadership, and AI-driven Process Automation.

I develop automation solutions, integrate AI tools into existing systems, and create measurable efficiency gains. It's important to me that process optimization doesn't depend on a single person — I actively empower my team to independently apply and develop AI tools and new methods through structured knowledge transfer, hands-on documentation, and a culture of continuous learning.

16 years of competitive sports at the highest level gave me discipline and resilience — my entrepreneurial thinking and execution strength come from practice: profitable growth in shrinking markets, significant cost reduction, and digital transformation that truly delivers.
