What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead data governance, analytics, and machine learning initiatives that strengthen regulatory reporting, ESG outcomes, and data-driven decision-making across complex financial organizations.

At Truist, I lead data stewardship, ESG and climate risk analytics, and regulatory reporting across complex financial lines of business.

I built metadata and source-level data lineage for Federal Reserve Call Report FFIEC 031 and FR Y-9C reporting, while improving workflows for 500+ line items through Microsoft Copilot, Python pipelines, and automated Excel management.

I recruited and led a team of seven data engineers and data scientists to build Snowflake infrastructure, transition unstructured data, and automate reporting. I also deployed NLP to verify more than 1,000 client property locations and improve emissions calculations for investors and compliance disclosures.

Earlier at SunTrust, I led reporting and data science teams, delivered an 8TB archival migration that saved over $80,000, and identified regulatory data inconsistencies affecting a $5B balance sheet and $300MM income statement adjustment.
