Business Transformation Associate Director driving enterprise technology and payments transformations end-to-end.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Associate Director at PwC and a Citi alumnus with 18+ years owning complex enterprise technology and payments transformation programmes—from sales and scoping through go-live, value realization, and steady-state handover.
As the Engagement & Delivery Owner for Fitech, I’m the single point of contact with full P&L accountability (₹8 Cr / ~$1 Mn). I’ve driven AI-augmented delivery that compressed engineering cycle time by ~90% by reverse-engineering an undocumented core system in 3 months solo.
My payments and integration depth includes SWIFT GPI cross-border delivery across Asia and LATAM, API integration at scale (25+ partner integrations via a microservices gateway), and programme governance balancing scope/time/cost/quality with structured risk management.
I bring trusted executive stakeholder influence—Boards, MDs, and senior decision-makers—translating deep technical detail (APIs, microservices, AWS, ISO 20022) into business outcomes, and continuously improving delivery playbooks for repeatable results.
