About Jesus Rodriguez

In my experience leading large, globally dispersed groups, I\'ve found that open communication and a clear sense of purpose motivate individuals to do their best work. If someone raises a concern, I view it as an opportunity to celebrate their candor and collaborate on a solution. I\'ve seen even the most complex projects come together successfully with consistent expectations and transparent goals.I believe in servant leadership: respecting the people I work with, ensuring everyone has the tools and support they need, and holding myself accountable to my team and stakeholders.I also speak Spanish, which has helped me build trust and navigate cultural nuances across international locations. By emphasizing how each team\'s contributions fit into the bigger picture, I\'ve seen people embrace a single shared vision, no matter where they live.Throughout my career at HSBC, I\'ve led global initiatives that stretched across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. My teams and I have delivered large-scale transformations under tight timelines and in highly regulated environments. I\'ve managed a massive credit risk program with four trillion dollars lending limits. I\'ve also led nearly two hundred professionals across eight countries, consolidating disparate regional systems into a seamless global capability. My contributions drove major cost savings and cut down on duplicative efforts.I stay calm under pressure, drawing on advanced leadership training in corporate and military-style settings to unify diverse stakeholders. My mindset has helped me build engaged teams who feel comfortable speaking up and innovating. I create an environment where everyone understands the mission and feels empowered to contribute.Additionally, I have participated in collaborations with major tech partners like Google and Amazon to bring AI-powered models and innovative “PRFAQ” methodologies into large financial institutions, earning global as well as national attention and, delivering transformative technology solutions. In my next position, I\'m looking to apply these skills as a Senior Director or Senior Technical Program Manager, continuing to bridge gaps between business objectives and technology solutions. I enjoy solving challenging problems, building strong relationships, and guiding organizations toward meaningful change. If you share my commitment to collaboration and continuous improvement, let\'s connect and see how we can work together to drive success.
