What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading regulatory, collateral or risk projects where I can translate complex requirements into scalable solutions, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and drive compliant delivery.

I am a senior risk and regulatory project manager with over 20 years of experience across banking, asset management, internal policy, risk management and technology. I have led end-to-end regulatory initiatives including Initial Margin, trade reporting, pre-trade checks and LIBOR conversion, working closely with front/back office, legal, audit and regulators.

My background combines technical and financial credentials—BSc in Computer Science, an MBA with a finance concentration, and the CFA designation—plus hands-on delivery experience with platforms and vendors such as Droit, SIMM calculators and Acadiasoft. I have written BRDs and user stories, overseen TOM and RACI development, and led UAT and SteerCo sessions to drive timely delivery.

I seek to apply my cross-functional expertise to complex regulatory and collateral projects where I can translate requirements into robust solutions, reduce operational risk, and partner with stakeholders to enable scalable, compliant processes.
