What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead implementation and delivery of fintech or banking projects, drive process improvements, and work cross-functionally for measurable operational impact.

I am a dynamic project manager and consultant with several years’ experience shaping implementation strategies, optimizing operations and delivering customer-focused financial technology solutions across the Asia-Pacific region. I have delivered over 120 full project lifecycles for SMEs, multinationals, and government entities and exceeded my annual target project deliverables by over 150% in the past fiscal year.

I bring certified Prince2 Agile project management expertise and strong skills in Waterfall and hybrid methodologies, change management, business analysis, and process improvement. My background includes roles in commercial banking, wealth operations, and implementation consulting where I led cross-functional initiatives and operational efficiency projects that refined partner processes and improved delivery outcomes.
