What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead strategic, structured enterprise sales for AI-enabled credit risk and fraud platforms—partnering with C-level stakeholders to drive revenue growth, win complex SaaS/cloud transformations, and deliver measurable ROI for global financial institutions.

I’m a Global Strategic Account Director with 20+ years of international experience leading enterprise sales, relationship management, and consultative engagements across banks, telcos, fintech and insurance. I’m recognized for exceeding sales targets and for managing complex, multi-stakeholder programs to protect and grow strategic account revenue.

At Provenir, I execute structured, strategic sales processes—driving new opportunities, running discovery and demos, negotiating proposals and contracts, and collaborating with marketing, solutions engineering, and customer success to close efficiently. Previously, as Executive Sales Director at GDS Modelllica and a Client Partner at FICO, I led on-premises/SaaS digital risk lifecycle solutions, managed forecasts and KPIs, and partnered with global ecosystems (e.g., AWS, Microsoft, Google, Accenture) to deliver measurable value, including ROI-focused risk and fraud outcomes.
