About

Senior financial-services executive with 17 years across enterprise transformation, strategy consulting, and trading operations. Currently SVP at Citi, leading enterprise transformation and risk/control framework work.

Started in operations at BNP Paribas through the 2008 crisis, MBA at CMU Tepper, consulting at PwC/Strategy&, wealth-management strategy at Morgan Stanley, and now Citi. Long-time builder — VBA macros, Hot Keys workshops, automation at every stop. In 2025 I went all in on AI: 9 measured Claude projects, 33.9 hours saved, and this site built end to end with Claude Code.

Career themes · what compounds

Translating complex into simple

Translator by instinct: regulatory mandates, executive questions, and fragmented data become dashboards, BRDs, and decisions teams act on.

Building the machines, not just running them

Systems over tasks: reusable pipelines, governance frameworks, and data architectures designed to outlast individual involvement.

Executing in the Grey

Ambiguity-native: unmapped requirements, missing enterprise systems, and shifting deadlines are the environment of choice.

Quantitatively curious

Evidence-first: every framework built on traceable data, documented logic, and defensible assumptions, not opinion.

Ship under pressure

Gap-closer: fixed deadlines and missing solutions trigger building the working artifact, documenting it, and handing it off cleanly.

Human-AI collaboration

AI-native operator: repeatable human-AI workflows that multiply output without multiplying headcount.

Less box-checking, more discomfort on purpose. Travel built my tolerance for ambiguity and for solving problems other people's ways.
