What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior roles in product, program, or transformation leadership where I can lead regulatory-compliant digital transformation, drive data strategy, and deliver measurable ROI while collaborating with executive stakeholders.

I am a results-driven business analysis and product strategy leader with 20+ years delivering enterprise-wide initiatives across wealth management, private equity, and private credit. I have led regulatory compliance, governance, and private market technology implementations that produced measurable ROI, reduced manual processing, and improved data integrity and investment performance.

I partner with executive stakeholders to translate complex regulatory and operational requirements into strategic solutions, oversee Agile delivery and ADO backlogs, and deliver executive reporting and governance. I’m skilled in process optimization, data analytics, AI applications, and change leadership, and I drive stakeholder adoption, efficiency gains, and risk mitigation.
