What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that allow me to drive digital transformation and risk management initiatives while fostering innovation and collaboration within diverse teams.

I am a seasoned Techno-Business Leader with over 30 years of experience in Enterprise Risk Management and Technology Consulting. My career has been marked by a commitment to driving digital transformation and risk management initiatives across various industries, particularly in the BFSI sector. I have successfully led over 75 global assignments, focusing on aligning IT strategies with business objectives and ensuring compliance with regulatory frameworks.

My role involves defining digital transformation blueprints and developing technology adoption strategies for mid-sized and large clients. I am passionate about mentoring and building high-performance teams, having scaled teams to over 130 FTEs across multiple geographies.

In my current position as Senior Manager at FIS Global, I oversee risk management plans and policies, ensuring adherence to security compliance frameworks.
