What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles where I can lead cross-functional teams to launch digital products, optimize operations, ensure compliance, and drive measurable revenue and efficiency gains in a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am a strategy, operations and digital transformation executive with 15+ years of experience optimizing business operations across financial services and telecommunications in regional markets. I lead cross-functional teams to deliver multi-million dollar financial solutions, secure regulatory approvals, and launch revenue-generating digital products.

My achievements include establishing a new financial-services subsidiary, obtaining 100% required regulatory licenses, and redesigning payment processes to achieve a 90% resolution rate for customer payment adjustments while eliminating redundant touchpoints. I have driven process and cost efficiencies, negotiated vendor SLAs that yielded 20% savings, and reduced timelines by 20% through disciplined project execution.

I bring pragmatic leadership, a track record of product and go-to-market launches, and a collaborative style that rallies teams around a shared mission. I focus on building operational readiness, compliance frameworks, and scalable processes that support sustainable growth and improved customer experience.
