What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior product or platform roles where I can own critical data domains, drive strong governance, and build scalable, API-driven platforms that power analytics and operational decision-making.

I’m a senior digital product leader specializing in enterprise data platforms within regulated financial services. I lead large-scale data products built on Azure and Databricks, including multi-layer architectures (bronze/silver/gold), data contracts, quality controls, and API-enabled access. My work focuses on delivering reliable, production-grade data used for analytics, reporting, and operational decision-making where precision and governance matter.

My background spans product ownership, program leadership, and data strategy across firms such as Edward Jones, Invesco, Wells Fargo, and Certium Asset Management. I’m strongest at defining product vision, aligning stakeholders, driving Agile execution across engineering and governance teams, and turning complex data ecosystems into scalable platforms. I’m particularly interested in platform product management, fintech, APIs, and data infrastructure roles.
