What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead AI-powered digital transformation in regulated finance—building compliance-ready systems, automating regulatory and due-diligence workflows, and partnering cross-functionally to deliver measurable ESG and sustainability outcomes.

I’m an AI operator and digital transformation lead bridging regulated finance and applied technology for 6+ years. I co-founded an AI-native advisory SaaS firm, where I built the full-stack product, designed an EU-sovereign cloud architecture, and orchestrated AI agent workflows automating ~70% of operations.

My track record focuses on turning regulation into practical automation: I’ve used LLMs, RAG, and machine learning to streamline regulatory and due-diligence workflows for banks, funds, and startups. I also lead operational execution as COO—owning product, operations, finance, and compliance while building the strategy and delivery mechanisms to scale what we ship.

Across sustainability and investment roles, I’ve led major CSRD and double materiality work, including gap analysis and implementation, and supported SFDR/EU Taxonomy reporting for investment firms and institutional investors. From training 30+ staff on ESG reporting to developing consulting offerings across carbon accounting and reporting frameworks, I bring a hands-on, compliance-aware approach that helps teams move from policy to measurable execution.
