Data & AI Product Leadership | Turning Ambiguous Business Problems into Delivered Roadmaps | Ex-HSBC AVP, Ex-Wells Fargo, Ex-PWC | BFSI, Energy & Consulting

About

I turn ambiguous, often conflicting business problems into roadmaps that actually ship. 14+ years across Data Analytics, BI, and Strategic Consulting — building and leading analytics functions at HSBC and Wells Fargo, advising sovereign governments (Japan, UAE), and delivering high-stakes data solutions for Vimeo, Uber, and PayPal. The throughline isn't the tooling. It's problem definition, requirements discovery, stakeholder alignment, and prioritization — the core disciplines of product management, practiced inside data and analytics leadership roles rather than under a formal PM title. What I'm known for: • Product discovery and roadmap ownership — running structured discovery (JTBD), writing PRDs, and applying prioritization frameworks to convert competing stakeholder mandates into one phased delivery plan • AI-forward delivery — hands-on across Azure, Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, GCP, and AWS, with applied GenAI and prompt engineering; my bar for using AI in a feature is the same as any other build decision — does this actually need a model, or does a simpler answer do it • Building the infrastructure underneath the roadmap — data governance, BI modernisation, ETL/ELT pipelines, single-source-of-truth frameworks • Leading through influence — aligning stakeholders across regions and functions who each hold a legitimate but different mandate, without formal authority over most of them • Rapid domain mastery — banking, energy, defence consulting, revenue-recognition accounting; I ramp fast and deliver faster Notable outcomes: • Architecting the Finance-domain automation roadmap for a GCC transformation at OSB India — JTBD discovery, prioritization frameworks, and PRD documentation converting competing UK/India mandates into one phased plan, consolidating a complex, multi-system landscape into a unified target architecture • Workforce-planning analytics covering 10,000+ employees at HSBC (GOTT/BWOT) • Data Governance Framework unifying ~10 operational sources into one source of truth • BCP Risk Analytics dashboard at Wells Fargo — material risk mitigation and cost avoidance • Customer attrition model at Just Energy — reshaped pricing tiers across North American markets • Revenue-recognition framework for Vimeo — adopted as a vendor reference model • Advisory work for the Japanese and UAE governments on technology and economic strategy Currently at OSB India, leading Finance-domain data architecture and automation inside
