Strategic Business Leader | M&A, Finance, Data Analytics, Risk Management, and Operations | Real Estate & Investment StrategistI bring 16 years of private sector experience, with the majority spent at American Express, where I’ve led enterprise-scale initiatives, managed high-stakes M&A transactions, and launched innovative B2B digital platforms that have reshaped how businesses manage payments and working capital.Throughout my career, I’ve driven results across multi-billion-dollar initiatives, consistently delivering measurable outcomes through a combination of strategic vision, operational precision, and cross-functional leadership. My work has spanned corporate strategy, data analytics, risk management, finance, digital transformation, and post-merger integration, often operating in ambiguous and high-pressure environments where aligning global stakeholders and solving complex problems was critical to success.Beyond the corporate realm, I’ve built hands-on expertise in real estate investing and equity markets, actively managing a growing portfolio of assets. I apply the same rigor and long-term thinking from my corporate experience to these personal ventures — using data, discipline, and design to create value across diverse investment strategies.I’m passionate about:1) Transforming complex challenges into clear, scalable solutions2) Driving financial performance through strategic initiatives3) Building teams, systems, and businesses that stand the test of timeNow, I’m focused on bridging my executive leadership experience with entrepreneurial ventures that create lasting impact and generational wealth.
