About
Product leader by experience.
AI builder by practice.
For over 20 years, I've led digital transformation inside some of the world's largest banks — JPMorgan, UBS, Credit Suisse, DBS, and Citi — turning complex problems into products that clients actually use.
Today, I bring an AI-first mindset to product leadership. I don't just talk about AI — I build with it: prototyping GenAI apps, designing agentic workflows, and automating real processes with tools like n8n, RAG, and MCP.
My edge is the combination: deep enterprise product experience plus hands-on AI building. I understand the business problem — and I can prototype the solution.
