I’ve consistently delivered results across front-to-back control frameworks, scaled risk functions, and elevated risk oversight for some of the industry’s most complex challenges — including model governance, GenAI risk, and operational controls.I bring a blend of deep technical expertise and strategic leadership, with a track record of driving enterprise-wide transformations, advancing innovation in operational risk and compliance, and strengthening regulatory confidence. I’m a trusted partner to C-suites, regulators, and stakeholders across all three lines of defense.
