• I drive the enterprise-wide data strategy for our global payments organization, ensuring that data becomes a strategic asset across modern payment platforms and end-to-end payment flows. I lead the definition and implementation of data standards, data dictionaries, and critical data elements (CDEs) to establish a consistent, trusted data foundation that supports regulatory compliance, operational excellence, and advanced analytics.
• A core part of my responsibilities includes strengthening data governance by embedding robust controls, high-quality metadata, and standardized processes across all regions and business lines. I partner with risk, technology, product managers, and operations teams to align governance frameworks with evolving industry requirements and internal policies. This includes driving adoption of data quality rules, lineage transparency, and stewardship accountability.
• Given the global nature of our payments ecosystem, I coordinate across multiple regions to ensure consistent execution of strategy and alignment of delivery roadmaps. I oversee several cross-functional programs simultaneously, managing scope, dependencies, and stakeholder expectations while maintaining transparency and disciplined execution.
• Overall, I bring together data strategy, governance, technology modernization, and program management to build a scalable, secure, and data-driven payments ecosystem that positions the organization for future growth and innovation.

• As EMEA Regulatory Reporting Lead and Technology Program Manager, I led large-scale regulatory and AI-driven transformation programs across capital markets, ensuring full compliance with MiFID II, FINMA, FMIA/FinfraG, CMAR, MCAR, and multiple EMEA & Swiss Deposit Protection regimes. I owned the strategy, roadmap, and execution of front-to-back reporting initiatives, integrating advanced data analytics and AI/ML models to strengthen data quality, exception reduction, and regulatory controls.
• I managed cross-regional programs covering regulatory interpretation, data lineage, architecture redesign, automation, and control remediation. Through targeted AI-powered reconciliation and exception classification, I achieved a 35–45% reduction in reporting breaks, 30% improvement in data completeness, and 25% faster regulatory issue resolution. I also delivered a unified EMEA reporting governance framework, increasing audit readiness and regulatory transparency by 40%.
• Key achievements include successful delivery of MiFID II enhancement programs, FMIA, FINMA modernization, CMAR/MCAR, CSDR compliance, end-to-end remediation of high-risk reporting gaps, and deployment of scalable reporting platforms leveraging cloud, API-based integration, and AI quality checks.
• With deep expertise in regulatory change, technology transformation, and AI-enabled data management, I build resilient, future-proof regulatory reporting ecosystems that reduce operational risk and elevate compliance excellence across complex capital markets environments.
