My Mission

I believe AI should solve real business problems—not just be impressive technology. In financial services, that means building products that prevent violations before they happen, retain customers before they churn, and optimize operations without sacrificing human judgment. The best AI products feel invisible to users but transform outcomes for businesses.

What I Deliver

Products that balance innovation with risk management, speed with compliance, and automation with human oversight

Measurable Business Impact

Every product decision ties to KPIs. I've delivered $38M revenue increases, $12M cost reductions, and 5.2x ROI improvements because I design for outcomes, not features.

Risk-Aware Innovation

Fintech requires balancing speed with caution. I know how to move fast without breaking compliance, how to innovate within regulatory constraints, and when to push boundaries vs. play it safe.

Cross-Functional Leadership

I'm the translator between data scientists, engineers, compliance officers, and executives. I speak all their languages and align them toward common goals without getting lost in politics.
