What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead enterprise AI product strategy and delivery, translating AI/ML capabilities into measurable business value while building responsible governance, scalable platforms, and high-performing cross-functional teams.

I'm leading AI/ML fraud detection platform development at JRDSI for a regional banking client, building real-time models across card, ACH, wire, and digital channels. Previously at Credit Suisse/UBS, I led AI strategy and compliance technology integration through a $3B+ merger.

I built an AI product organization, delivered a compliance chatbot MVP in 90 days, and created an enablement platform supporting 200+ workflows. My teams delivered $25M+ in annual savings, migrated 50,000+ users across 130 applications, and accelerated operational efficiency by 60%.
