My background spans frontline banking leadership and enterprise risk, including experience in corporate security and investigations. This gives me a balanced lens on member experience, risk management, and operational discipline—and allows me to lead with both empathy and sound judgment.I’m always open to conversations about leadership, risk, and building organizations that deliver results while staying true to their purpose
