Tier 1 bank cloud transformation
Helped a Tier 1 bank achieve its cloud-first strategy within 24 months, with more than 80 systems migrated and an operational Cloud Centre of Excellence established.
Professional profile
Enterprise AI product and transformation leadership.
More than 20 years connecting customer problems, technical systems, cross-functional delivery and measurable enterprise outcomes across Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia.
Positioning
A senior leader who can move between boardroom intent and delivery reality.
My strongest value is translating complex business and regulatory needs into practical AI strategies, product roadmaps, delivery structures and governed outcomes.
I have worked across strategic customer advisory, cloud transformation, banking-platform delivery, regional capability building and AI-enabled product leadership. I am comfortable aligning executives, product owners, architects, engineers, security, risk, operations, partners and vendors around a decision and an executable path.
I bring architecture-level technical depth and work fluently with engineering, data, security and platform teams. My primary contribution is connecting product direction, technical decisions, delivery governance and enterprise adoption to measurable outcomes.

Technical program leadership
Cross-functional execution, workstreams, dependencies, RAID, governance cadence, cloud transformation, operational readiness and executive reporting.
AI product and platforms
