Summary
I’m a Senior Implementation Consultant and Business Analyst with over 15+ years of experience leading large-scale commercial data and systems integration projects across global organizations. I specialize in Lead-to-Cash, Data Services, and Implementation Management, helping businesses streamline operations, enhance data capabilities, and deliver measurable results.
At Visa Inc., I led multiple high-impact initiatives, including Visa Commercial Format (VCF), Central Travel Account (CTA), and Data API implementations for banks and fintech partners. My focus has always been on translating business requirements into scalable technical solutions, improving process efficiency, and fostering cross-functional collaboration between product, finance, and IT teams.
My approach combines structured delivery with adaptability — ensuring projects move from strategy to execution seamlessly. With an MBA in Business Administration and a Data Science certification from Stanford University, I bring both analytical and strategic depth to every engagement.
When I’m not driving implementation success, I’m passionate about learning emerging technologies, mentoring teams, and exploring data-driven innovation that shapes the future of business.
