Consulting & Program Execution

• Lead large fintech programs in consulting environments.
• Navigate shifting priorities, scope changes, and regulatory pressures.

• Proven track record in managing programs with tight regulatory and client deadlines .

Technical Depth

• Strong understanding of:
• Distributed systems and microservices
• APIs and event-driven architectures
• CI/CD pipelines and release management
• Data pipelines, batch processing, and reconciliation flows
• Monitoring, alerting, and incident response
• Able to challenge architects and engineers on design and implementation.

Business & Leadership Skills

• MBA or equivalent business leadership experience strongly preferred.
• Executive-level communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Comfortable owning escalations and defending technical delivery decisions.
