About

I am a Vice President, Technical Program Manager, and Agile Program Leader with 13+ years of experience driving enterprise-scale technology programs across banking, wealth management, health insurance, and retail domains. My experience spans application development programs, Agile delivery, product management, and large-scale transformation initiatives, with a strong focus on turning ambiguity into structured execution. Over the years, I have evolved from quality engineering and product management into leading complex, globally distributed programs across engineering, architecture, product, and business teams. Currently, at Morgan Stanley, I lead strategic initiatives within Wealth Management Technology, including an AI-led modernization program focused on building a multi-agent framework for reverse engineering and forward engineering of legacy applications. The broader vision is to establish a scalable modernization approach that can be replicated across enterprise platforms. I work closely with Executive Directors and Managing Directors to drive program execution, delivery governance, Agile transformation, risk management, dependency management, and organizational alignment across globally distributed teams. What excites me most is solving complex delivery challenges, improving engineering productivity, and exploring how AI can reshape software delivery and modernization. I am particularly passionate about building practical, scalable ways of working that improve transparency, execution, and collaboration. Core areas of focus: • Technical Program Management • Agile Program Management & Scrum Leadership • AI-Led Modernization • Wealth Management Technology • Enterprise Application Delivery • Scrum of Scrums & Release Governance • Delivery Transformation & Process Optimization • Cross-Functional Leadership Always open to conversations around technology transformation, Agile at scale, AI in delivery, and enterprise modernization.
