OI lead global enterprise technology programs, governance, risk, and Agile delivery across regulated financial organizations.
What I'm looking for
I've led enterprise technology programs for NatWest Bank, Goldman Sachs, and global banking clients across India, the UK, Singapore, and the US. I translate technology strategy into practical execution frameworks, governance cadences, and delivery plans.
At NatWest, I direct programs spanning India and the UK, partnering with Risk, Compliance, and Finance stakeholders to manage dependencies, risks, and regulatory requirements. I lead Program Increment planning across multiple teams to improve alignment and delivery predictability.
At Goldman Sachs, I drove enterprise Agile programs across New York and Bengaluru, coordinated quarterly PI Planning, and established governance forums and risk controls in a highly regulated environment. I coach distributed teams on prioritization, backlog refinement, and execution discipline.
Across my career, I've balanced Scrum, SAFe, hybrid, and waterfall delivery models while building trust with senior leaders and geographically distributed teams. I bring 19+ years of program leadership, stakeholder influence, people management, and cross-cultural collaboration.
