  • Operational risk heat maps
  • Trend‑based automation recommendations
• Integrate AIOps platforms with ServiceNow to reduce manual toil and enable self‑healing workflows.
• Drive adoption of agentic AI assistants for infrastructure teams, reducing ticket load and accelerating resolution.

Global Governance, Controls & Compliance

• Establish end‑to‑end governance for SLAs, OLAs, KPIs, service reviews, vendor accountability and regulatory compliance (MAS TRM, FCA, OCC, SEC).
• Implement global consistency across regions (SG, NY, London, Brazil, SFO) within a matrix reporting model.
• Ensure strong controls around change, configuration, incident and cyber‑resilience processes.

Leadership, People Development & Culture

• Build and lead a high‑performing global Service Management team across time zones.
• Mentor functional and local managers in service maturity, operational rigor and data literacy.
• Champion a culture of standardisation, automation‑first thinking and continuous improvement.
