Professional Summary

I’m a technology and business leader with over 20 years of experience building and running organizations across consulting, fintech, and digital finance. I’ve led large, high-stakes initiatives, scaled operating teams, and held senior executive roles in growth-stage and established environments.

Known for a team-first
leadership, clear communication, and a hands-on approach to strategy, operational excellence, and bringing new business lines to market with disruptive technologies.

How I Operate

I focus on creating clarity around what matters most and making decision ownership explicit. I build and support strong teams by setting clear expectations, fostering trust, and encouraging thoughtful challenge. I design simple operating systems that enable scale without introducing unnecessary friction, while balancing long-term direction with disciplined, near-term execution. I also stay close enough to the work to identify emerging risks, misalignment, and points of friction early.
