What I'm looking for

I’m looking for Director/VP opportunities in high-growth, remote-first environments—FinTech, AI-native, or digital transformation—where I can lead mission-critical programs at scale, drive compliance and operational excellence, and build governance that accelerates delivery.

I’m a 18-year program and delivery leader on a Director-track, spanning FinTech, Blockchain, E-commerce, and Telecom. I’ve delivered SEBI-mandated compliance programs at zero-penalty, scaled a 35M+ user broking platform, and managed $15M+ portfolios across 6 global regions—100% remote.

At AngelOne, I’m driving front-to-back trade transformation by modernizing an enterprise data platform across 28+ legacy systems and delivering measurable operational impact (60% efficiency gains, 63% turnaround reduction, and 98% TAT improvement). I also lead AI governance, building “Gold Standard” Responsible AI SOPs and automated remediation for risk, compliance, and program tracking.
