• Align governance and operating models to focus on value streams rather than activities.
• Provide insights into scaling agile practices that accelerate measurable business results.

Transformation & Change Leadership

• Act as the central driver of technology transformation programs, ensuring initiatives are outcome‑focused.
• Translate the CTO’s vision into initiatives with clear business impact (efficiency gains, AUM growth, improved resilience).

• Coordinate leadership sessions with a focus on aligning strategy to measurable results.
• Develop executive‑level communications and presentations that frame technology initiatives in terms of business value.

• 10+ years of experience in technology management, consulting, or business operations with a focus on delivering measurable outcomes.
• Strong financial acumen with demonstrated ability to connect technology spend to business value.
