Track record of leading AI/ML initiatives in BFSI, including generative AI for compliance workflows, anomaly detection in trading data, and scalable MLOps for model governance.
Strong command of regulatory landscapes (e.g., Client, OCC guidelines) and data privacy standards (e.g., CCPA, GDPR), with experience navigating audits and ethical AI deployments.
Proven ability to lead global, matrixed teams (50 members) in agile/DevOps frameworks, delivering complex programs with P&L accountability.
Exceptional communication and influence skills, with a history of advising on vendor selections (e.g., Temenos, FIS, Calypso) and technology partnerships.
