Reporting directly to the VP of Financial Crimes, I lead enterprise-wide financial crime and AML transformation initiatives, shaping strategy to strengthen risk management, regulatory alignment, and commercial value. I also own the product vision and roadmap for financial crime capabilities, directing end-to-end research, evaluation, and executive decision-making to implement scalable, compliance-ready solutions aligned with long-term business objectives. To implement products and platforms for the financial crime team, I drive vendor and technology strategy through robust RFI/RFP governance and data-led investment cases, partnering closely with executive stakeholders to deliver measurable outcomes. In this role, I also lead cross-functional teams to scale product adoption and operational excellence, leveraging automation and RPA to streamline high-volume processes, reduce error rates, and enable resilient, scalable AML operations while developing high-performing financial crime and product teams.

In this fast-paced fintech and payments environment, I led the definition and execution of the product strategy and roadmap, translating business, risk, and customer needs into scalable, market-ready solutions. I owned the product vision end-to-end, establishing strong product governance, documentation, and delivery frameworks, while clearly articulating strategy and progress to senior executives, partners, and key stakeholders.

Acting as Product Owner and Scrum Master, I drove continuous product enhancement through value-based, customer-centric prioritization of the backlog. I embedded innovation by combining direct customer insight with analysis of emerging fraud trends and market developments, supporting both client-specific use cases and standardized products deployed across multiple portfolios. I also developed product playbooks to ensure consistent, repeatable delivery at scale. As digital transaction volumes increased and fraud risk intensified, I led targeted fraud product assessments, investigations, and vulnerability testing across payment platforms. I designed and implemented robust fraud controls and risk assessment frameworks, delivering clear, data-driven recommendations to executive leadership and supporting implementation through training and advisory engagement. These initiatives resulted in zero fraud losses within four months, materially strengthened platform controls, and significantly improved the overall risk posture, resilience, and scalability of the business.

I translated card scheme requirements, PSP operating models, and PSD2/SCA obligations into scalable product solutions, establishing clear governance, robust documentation, and delivery frameworks. Through consistent engagement with executive leadership and external partners, I ensured product direction was tightly aligned with business priorities, customer experience, and regulatory expectations. I also led cross-functional teams across engineering, platform, operations, customer service, and commercial functions to deliver secure, resilient payment products at scale.

Innovation was embedded through continuous engagement with customers and analysis of emerging fraud typologies, card scheme mandates, and PSP ecosystem changes. This approach enabled the successful delivery of both bespoke client solutions and standardized products across multiple portfolios, supported by repeatable product playbooks that accelerated time to market.
