What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a strategic role where I can lead data, AI/ML, and digital initiatives to drive business impact. I thrive in environments that value collaboration, performance, and innovation. I'm especially interested in opportunities across financial services, fintech, and SME sectors where I can simplify complexity and deliver measurable value.

I’m a senior strategy leader with over 25 years of experience across financial services, fintech, and SME sectors. My expertise lies in driving data-led transformation, embedding AI/ML capabilities, and aligning digital innovation with strategic business outcomes.

Throughout my career, I’ve led major enterprise programs—ranging from data capability uplift to end-to-end performance improvement—helping organisations unlock value from technology and data. One key achievement includes leading an enterprise data transformation that delivered over $40M in new revenue and doubled Trade RoRWA for a Tier 1 bank. I’m passionate about simplifying complexity, guiding cross-functional teams, and influencing senior stakeholders to drive sustainable, measurable outcomes.

My interests lie in emerging technologies, strategic innovation, and using data to reshape customer and business experiences. I thrive in collaborative, high-performance environments where strategy meets execution and enjoy mentoring talent, learning continuously, and solving real-world problems through technology and insight.
