Business technology leader transitioning to product management and business analysis.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven business technology leader with 15+ years of experience translating complex business needs into innovative technology solutions across investment management and finance.
I’m skilled in defining requirements, shaping product roadmaps, and aligning technology capabilities with business objectives. I also bring strong data analysis and process optimization experience to help improve decision-making and operational efficiency.
As Senior Director, Investment Technology (Allspring Global Investment), I led an 8-person team developing data and applications and supporting technology production and third-party vendor applications. I directed a complex migration of 30+ cloud-based, on-premises, and third-party hosted applications during the Galliard acquisition, delivering a seamless transition of a first business line to the new infrastructure.
Earlier at Galliard Capital Management, I helped move from outsourcing to internal development by documenting and implementing a technology strategy, ensuring standards compliance, and building a data management strategy and application support structure. Before that, I created a business technology team and governance approach that enabled biannual upgrades across multiple business lines.
