Strategy & Commercial Execution Leader | AI-Enabled Transformation | Business Economics | Revenue Retention | Asset Growth | Cost Optimization

About

I am a strategy and commercial execution leader with 20+ years of experience turning complex business questions into clear decisions and measurable outcomes. During my 17 years at Fidelity Investments, I progressed from Analyst to Director, led a 40-member global team, and partnered with senior leaders to protect revenue and client assets, reduce costs, and build AI-enabled capabilities. One example was an AI-powered client-service recommendation engine that created the potential to protect and grow more than $500 million in client assets while returning approximately 30% of service-manager capacity. Most recently, I co-founded a greenfield natural-resources venture and helped take it from opportunity assessment to government approval, a contractor-led operating model, institutional customer arrangements and independent management. The experience sharpened my commercial judgment and broadened my perspective on risk, trade-offs, stakeholder alignment and whole-business ownership. With the venture now independently managed, I am focused on returning to corporate leadership - bringing together strategy, commercial judgment and execution to improve business economics and build lasting capabilities.
