What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that challenge me and allow for professional growth, particularly in dynamic environments focused on regulatory compliance and project delivery.

I am a Senior Project Manager with over ten years of experience in the Financial Services and Capital Markets sectors. My expertise lies in managing and supporting large-scale regulatory change and IT programs, ensuring compliance across various divisions including Trading, Finance, Technology, and Operations. I have successfully led global teams to deliver complex projects, such as the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) and various initiatives related to Brexit and unauthorized trading.

Throughout my career, I have developed strong governance and reporting structures, enabling effective oversight of project deliverables. My role at Citi involves creating business requirements for KYC controls and generating management information reports to senior stakeholders. I have a proven track record in data analysis, which has been instrumental in improving cost efficiency and ensuring the successful migration of global projects.

My academic background in Mathematics from The University of Manchester complements my professional experience, allowing me to approach challenges analytically and strategically. I am passionate about driving change and delivering results that align with organizational goals, and I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my skills to make a significant impact.
