Senior Systems Technology leader with deep experience in software development. Proven record of success owning Application Development, Digital Strategy & Transformation, Enterprise Data Strategy, Program and Project Management and New Product Development. Called to rescue troubled/failed projects or build & execute blue ocean strategic initiatives. ⓵ COLLABORATIVE PARTNERING TO ACHIEVE COMPANY WIDE GOALS ► When building the new Infomediary product, challenges included requirement scope, time to market, new technology, & intense pressure to deliver. Developed close working partnership with Head of Infomediary Business. Challenged traditional raci chart of who did what & improved time to delivery by 30-40% & saved 30% testing time. ⓶ LEADING COMPLIANCE TECHNOLOGY TO ACHIEVE REGULATORY TARGETS ► Led Compliance Technology group struggling to keep up with increased scrutiny on compliance & falling behind on critical deliverables required by regulators. Developed a plan, hired staff & experts, cleared roadblocks, & put in place standards & data governance rules. Achieved 85% of commitments to regulators, an outstanding achievement as communicated by the regulators. ⓷ CHALLENGING THE PROCESS TO SAVE FLOUNDERING PROJECTS ► I look deeply at people, process, & product. New Regulation that required banks to certify integrity of their data needed testing. Automation would save time, money, & improve quality of testing. We automated 80% of validation workflow. Reduced calendar time by 3 months & required resource commitment from 55 to 4. ⓸ BOLD DECISION MAKING WITH GROUNDED CALM TO ACHIEVE THE IMPOSSIBLE ► Asked to take over a project to build new real time corporate action application. Methodically looked at people, process & product. Replacing resources required HR intervention. We brought the project in line & completed in 1 year.
