At Société Générale, I lead high-criticality IT risk, resiliency, and enterprise application initiatives across OneBCM, Safe Travel, and NFR, managing a €2.5 million budget and 28–30 cross-functional team members.

I've delivered 95%+ on-time, in-scope releases, generated €240K in year-over-year productivity savings through GenAI and automation, and reduced engineering rework by 18%. I also established PMO governance, ITSM lifecycle controls, disaster recovery frameworks, and audit-ready delivery aligned with DORA, GDPR, ISO 27001, and ITIL 4.

My career began in software engineering and technical delivery, including core banking at Infosys and clinical-trial platforms at Cognizant, where I improved performance, automation, compliance, and release outcomes. I bring PMP and SAFe-certified project leadership grounded in hands-on engineering experience.
