Payments executive at East West Bank, leading next-generation payment launches and digital wallet integrations.

At East West Bank, I lead the development and launch of next-generation payment methods and digital wallet integrations, including work on real-time gross settlement and instant payment systems.

At City National Bank, I lead payment modernization across small business and commercial banking. I led the development and launch of RTP and Zelle capabilities, built an internal governance model for real-time payments, and represented CNB at industry conferences and regulatory panels.

At KeyBank, I managed the go-to-market strategy for RTP and Zelle and launched RTP Send/Receive via API. At Fiserv, I owned the roadmap and market positioning for emerging payables and receivables offerings and participated in The Clearing House’s RTP initiative and early FedNow research.

Earlier, at U.S. Bank, I delivered double-digit growth in B2C electronic billing and payments and owned P&L for electronic receivables. At LaSalle Bank / ABN AMRO, I led treasury client implementations across liquidity, global wires, SWIFT, EBPP, and cross-border ACH.
