What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role in API-driven BFSI transformation where I can run Agile technical programs, strengthen governance and release readiness, and use automation to improve cycle time, reporting, and stakeholder outcomes across global teams.

I’m a Technical Project Manager with 15+ years delivering enterprise-scale programs across global BFSI organizations like Citi, HSBC, and UBS. I lead API-driven modernization and system integration programs, combining Agile execution with strong governance, release management, and stakeholder alignment to deliver within scope, timeline, and budget.

In my current role at Citi as VP – IT Project / Program Manager, I’ve driven API-driven transformation across global teams, owned release planning and environment readiness (DEV/SIT/UAT/PROD), and improved decision-making through executive dashboards. I’ve also reduced onboarding cycle time and manual processing by upgrading platforms to API and event-driven architectures—cutting process cycle time by 80% through automation and optimizing reporting effort equivalent to 4 global FTEs.
