Senior Project Manager delivering regulated digital transformations in FinTech, Insurance, and SaaS with Agile leadership.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Project Manager with 8+ years of experience delivering large-scale digital transformation programs across FinTech, Insurance, SaaS, and E-commerce. I’ve led multimillion-dollar initiatives—including a $4M digital banking transformation serving 500,000+ users—by combining end-to-end delivery accountability with strong stakeholder management and regulatory-compliant execution (GDPR, PCI-DSS, KYC/AML).
In my current role, I lead the end-to-end delivery of a Core Insurance Platform (IMS) transformation across policy, claims, billing/finance, and enterprise integration streams, owning scope, schedule, budget, quality, and risk through RAID governance and formal sign-off processes. Previously, I delivered 5+ SaaS platform projects with measurable outcomes (15% order-processing efficiency and 20% productivity gains), improved delivery speed by 25% for a USD 4M digital banking transformation, and helped drive client efficiency by 30% through omnichannel Order Management System integrations.
