What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for leadership and innovation in project management, with a focus on collaboration and continuous improvement.

I am an experienced Agile Project and Business Manager with over 18 years in the Banking, Financial Services, and IT sectors. My career has been marked by a proven track record in project delivery, stakeholder management, and business analysis, particularly in regulatory programs such as CSDR and Corporate Actions. I excel in leading global teams and fostering cross-functional collaboration, ensuring that projects are delivered on time and meet all stakeholder expectations.

Throughout my career, I have successfully delivered significant projects, including the go-live of the CSDR Cash Penalty regulation at HCL. My ability to streamline processes and utilize tools like Jira has led to reduced manual efforts and improved efficiency. I am passionate about driving change and implementing best practices, as evidenced by my leadership in Six Sigma projects that have consistently improved operational KPIs.
