Enterprise Transformation Executive driving AI-enabled, omnichannel digital platforms for regulated financial services.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Enterprise Transformation Executive with deep experience leading digital product strategy, end-to-end platform ownership, and omnichannel customer and employee journey transformation across highly regulated financial services environments. I focus on aligning product, technology, operations, data, and risk into scalable execution models that improve adoption and end-to-end experience delivery.
In my current role at Citi, I’ve led global simplification and innovation through enterprise restructuring, governing and modernizing platforms that support ~8,500 employees across NAM, EMEA, APAC, LATAM, and Mexico. I led redesign of global capacity planning workflow, partnering with technology to deliver $12.5M in business-validated savings through improved demand forecasting and reduced reliance on reactive overtime.
I also built and led a federated AI Accelerators program—scaling enterprise AI platform usage from 0% at launch (December 2025) to 95% weekly active adoption by May 2026 across 8,500+ employees in 4 regions. I evaluate and educate on AI use-case submissions through Citi’s AI Working Group, and I consolidated overlapping investment requests to avoid $11M in redundant spend.
Earlier, I led omnichannel customer and collection strategy at JPMorgan Chase, owning outbound engagement and contact center platforms and embedding regulatory controls (TCPA, FDCPA) into real-time interaction systems. Across prior leadership roles—including identity and access management modernization at Liberty Mutual and enterprise delivery transformation at DTCC—I’ve consistently delivered governance, automation, and modernization that strengthen operational reliability and measurable outcomes.
