What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading digital transformation and product delivery in Banking/Finance, using Agile practices, PPM tools, and cross-functional leadership to drive measurable impact.

I am a certified Project Manager and Scrum Product Owner with extensive experience leading high-impact digital transformation projects across Banking, Finance, and Consulting.

I leverage Agile and Waterfall methodologies, PPM tools, and strong stakeholder communication to deliver projects on time and within budget, including a legacy migration completed ahead of schedule and 15% under budget.

I coach Scrum teams, improve team velocity, and implement risk and RAID management to reduce escalations and improve project outcomes.

I hold an MBA focused on Advanced AI & The Future of Automation and multiple industry certifications (PMP, PMI-ACP, PSM, CBAP), and I seek roles where I can drive product innovation and operational excellence.
