What I'm looking for

I seek a senior treasury role where I can lead treasury operations and technology transformation, improve payments and controls, mentor teams, and deliver measurable process and compliance improvements.

I am a seasoned treasury professional with extensive cross-border experience in treasury operations, product management and project delivery across UK and US markets. I have led daily settlement processes, banking integrations and maintained treasury policy and controls in SOX and compliance-driven environments.

I have acted as a subject matter expert for fixed income and derivative transactions and led system and process implementations including collateral management, payment advice systems and corporate banking connectivity. I have supported major M&A operational activity and led initiatives to add trading partners, coordinate KYC responses and streamline static data and reconciliation processes.

I lead and develop teams, create actionable procedures, and drive business continuity and risk-reduction activities while partnering with legal, risk and senior stakeholders. I am motivated by opportunities to modernise treasury technology, optimise payments and deliver measurable control and process improvements.
