What I'm looking for

I am looking for a leadership role that fosters innovation and strategic growth.

I am a highly accomplished finance leader with over 15 years of experience in driving strategic initiatives and managing financial risk within complex capital markets environments. My career has been marked by a proven ability to develop and implement innovative solutions that exceed expectations in demanding settings. At Citi Group, I played a pivotal role in expanding the Structured Notes program, doubling its size to $125 billion and generating $1 billion in revenues in 2022. My leadership and partnership skills were recognized through the Citi Gratitude program, underscoring my commitment to excellence.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed teams and budgets, enhancing data analysis and decision-making processes. My tenure at BNP Paribas and Goldman Sachs further solidified my expertise in treasury management, risk mitigation, and regulatory compliance. I have consistently delivered results, such as reducing intraday liquidity usage by $4 billion and generating significant savings in funds transfer pricing. I am now seeking a challenging leadership role in the EU, UK, or Middle East where I can leverage my extensive experience in financial resource optimization and strategic planning.
