My most recent positions have exposed me to the digitization and transformation capabilities within the Engineering and Technology platforms of the Bank. I have worked closely managing technical and business teams towards delivering software and infrastructure changes. My deep knowledge of change management aided me in achieving success through implementations of key strategic transform changes. I have worked in both Waterfall and Agile IT environments and have proven records of driving and managing teams towards successful delivery outcomes. I seek to find a challenging opportunity that will further develop my skills and capabilities to becoming a great leader.
