I lead product strategy and modernization for enterprise financial platforms—25+ years in fintech delivery leadership.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I lead product strategy and delivery for enterprise-scale financial platforms with 25+ years in financial services, including 7 years driving platform modernization and 17+ years leading cross-functional delivery in matrixed fintech organizations. I’m at the intersection of product strategy and technical execution—owning multi-quarter roadmaps and translating business needs into architecture-level requirements.
Much of my recent work has modernized legacy, mainframe-era platforms into cloud-native systems, including a zero-incident migration of a platform processing $2T+ in assets across 40M+ accounts. I rebuild prioritization using risk-weighted models, improve incident management with triage under 30-minute SLAs, and manage cross-platform dependencies to cut release cycles from 3 months to 1. I also drive demand and capacity planning aligned to Group-level OKRs and partner with Risk, Compliance, and external auditors to maintain SOC1 compliance on a live financial platform.
I care deeply about building high-performing product and delivery teams—hiring thoughtfully, coaching for craft, and helping people get sharper. I write about financial infrastructure and platform modernization, and I’m open to senior product and platform leadership roles across banks, GCCs, and fintech.
