What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead regulated banking, payments, or financial-infrastructure products where I can own complex platform launches, partner with engineering and risk teams, and turn regulatory requirements into scalable customer experiences.

I've led commercial card, digital payment, and banking infrastructure products at HSBC and RBC, scaling adoption by 12% year over year across 200,000+ accounts.

As a single-threaded product owner, I led the HSBC-to-RBC commercial card portfolio migration for 800 clients and 200,000+ cardholders, defining requirements across databases, Fiserv Client360, Visa, and Mastercard systems.

I've launched digital tokenization, virtual-card capabilities, and dual-authorization workflows with Visa, Mastercard, and engineering teams within six months. I also integrated Fiserv event streams with Broadcom risk engines to reduce false-positive fraud declines by 75%.

My background spans commercial-card commercialization, client onboarding, financial-crime due diligence, and servicing operations. I work bilingually in English and French to translate regulatory, risk, and technical constraints into practical product experiences.
