What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that leverages my fintech expertise, leadership experience, and passion for innovation to drive growth and transformation in a forward-thinking organization.

As a seasoned fintech executive with a background in banking and consulting, I leverage my expertise in sales, business development, corporate strategy, and technology to drive growth and innovation. With a proven track record in deals closure, change management, and technology transformation, I excel in leading cross-functional teams and advising founders on go-to-market strategies.

My experience spans fintech product development, B2B sales, P&L ownership, corporate development, and change management. I'm well-versed in emerging technologies, including cloud, generative AI, and DevX, and have a strong understanding of platform and marketplaces.

Throughout my career, I've demonstrated my ability to conceive, build, and scale technology start-ups, launch new business units, and drive digital transformation in top-tier banks and technology companies.
