Senior IT Project Manager at SMBC, returning a delayed capital markets modernization program to plan and doubling release predictability.

United States
Message

At SMBC, Capital Markets, I serve as senior delivery lead for a legacy trading platform modernization program. I returned a significantly delayed initiative to plan within three months, improved output efficiency by 20%, and doubled release predictability.

At Caesars Entertainment, I managed sportsbook and iGaming platform rollouts across 12 U.S. states. I directed the William Hill-to-Caesars platform domain migration and established a standardized URL architecture later adopted as the firmwide standard for new state builds.

I also led the Caesars Sportsbook and Casino launch in Ontario, coordinating KYC and payment vendor integrations for compliant mobile applications on day one. I authored delivery runbooks, requirements documentation, and quality standards that reduced new-market launch lead time by roughly 25%.

At JPMorgan Chase & Co., I delivered the consolidation of five content management platforms into Adobe Experience Manager across 94 sites in 29 countries, generating $2M in cost savings. Earlier, at BNY Mellon, I directed a $2.5M Teradata data warehouse implementation and delivered self-service analytics and segmentation tools.
