What I'm looking for

I am looking for a leadership role that fosters innovation and aligns technology with business goals, preferably in a dynamic BFSI environment.

I am an accomplished technology executive with over 20 years of global experience in delivering digital transformation and regulatory-compliant innovation for premier BFSI institutions. My expertise lies in aligning IT strategy with business goals across Retail & Investment Banking, Wealth Management, and Capital Markets. I have successfully led multi-million-dollar transformations and managed cross-border teams, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

Throughout my career, I have achieved significant milestones, including the delivery of a complete corporate banking solution for the Commercial Bank of Dubai in partnership with PwC. My leadership in digital credit card migration for Nationwide Building Society resulted in PCI-DSS compliance with zero downtime. I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive business success and have a proven track record in managing complex projects that enhance operational efficiency and compliance.
