View LinkedIn ProfileExecutive Overview
I focus on how technology can reshape—not just improve—how a business operates. I look for opportunities where smart applications of tools and data unlock new levels of performance. That begins with deeply understanding how the business works, what drives results, and where new approaches can create measurable impact. As CIO and Chief Transformation Officer, I align technology with strategic priorities to accelerate meaningful change. My work spans rethinking processes, modernizing data use, and leading enterprise-wide transformations that go far beyond IT. Recent initiatives include modernizing our analytics approach to deliver on-demand, self-service insights across the business, redesigning how insurance data is processed and analyzed, and leading an enterprise-wide transition to a cloud-only environment. With that foundation in place, we're now focused on scaling digital capabilities to drive performance and adaptability. My transformation approach is business-first and structured. I start with strategy, then apply technology with intent—prioritizing what enables scale, speed, and resilience. I believe sustainable change depends not just on systems, but on the people who use them. That's why I emphasize operating models, talent development, and team capability alongside technical change. My background includes enterprise infrastructure, insurance and reinsurance data, analytics, cybersecurity, vendor management, and financial systems—primarily in highly regulated environments. I bring experience in Lean, Six Sigma, and Agile, and have led initiatives from general ledger overhauls to AI-ready data strategies. I also hold a US patent (US8121913-B2), reflecting my commitment to practical innovation. My focus is always on building the capabilities—technical, operational, and organizational—that move the business forward.
