I consider myself a product-minded technologist first and foremost, and then a strategic advisor and management consultant serving world-class clients. I started my career building software products (Microsoft) before venturing into management consulting (Deloitte, PwC). I have a passion for technology innovation to create business value, and an entrepreneurial drive to grow businesses and organizations (I\'ve done a tech startup too, which was an amazing experience). My specialties include technology innovation / ideation and incubation, business-IT value creation, IT strategy, technology planning and selection, impact assessment, business case development, solution architecture and design, program / product / practice / P&L management, and solution / product development. I\'m also a business and technology subject matter expert in all things “money movement”, including card payments, payment networks, payment messaging (e.g, SWIFT, ISO20022), payment hubs / architectures, cash management, global transaction banking, as well as post-merger bank integration. I\'m often told that I\'m an inspiring mentor-leader and builder of high-performing teams, something I\'m quite proud of. My clients and colleagues also know me for extreme quality and delivery excellence, as well as innovative, fresh approaches and thought leadership.
