What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead enterprise technology transformation, AI enablement, software delivery, payments modernization, and regulatory remediation programs where I can align cross-functional teams and deliver measurable operational outcomes.

At Citibank, I lead Payments and Receivables digital transformation across LATAM, using API-led design and ISO 20022 messaging to increase straight-through processing by 80% and reduce payment errors by 70%.

I've directed modernization of ACH platforms across six countries, delivered the first ONE FX integration with Central Bank systems, and led a core banking migration from a 25-year-old mainframe to cloud-native services across three regions.

I build enterprise programs that connect engineering, product, architecture, risk, compliance, and operations. My work includes regulatory consent order remediation, AI-enabled test automation, GenAI rollout across 200+ engineers, and portfolios exceeding $40M.

I've delivered automation and digital onboarding programs across 22+ countries, including 300+ automations that eliminated more than 30,000 manual hours annually and a custody transformation supporting $50B in daily transaction volume.
