Presentation

With over 16 years of experience driving excellence in the financial technology sector, I specialize in navigating the complexities of modern payment ecosystems. My career is defined by a long-term tenure at Mastercard, where I spearheaded end-to-end projects ranging from high-stakes instant payment systems to robust fraud prevention frameworks.

I bridge the gap between complex financial operations and streamlined business processes. My background includes pivotal roles at Citibank, where I honed my skills in financial operations and market research.

Core Expertise:
Payment Systems: End-to-end project management and implementation.
Business Analysis: Process improvement and operational scaling.
Risk Management: Strategic fraud prevention and mitigation.
Financial Intelligence: Deep experience in market research and banking operations.
