Lead Product Manager — Enterprise Agentic AI, Finance Operations \| Product & GTM Strategy · Competitive Intelligence \| Building agents enterprises can trust with consequential decisions \| Ex\-JPMorgan · GitLab · Deloitte

## About

The hardest problem in enterprise AI isn't capability: it's trust\. When an agent acts on a real invoice, a real payment, a real customer, someone has to answer for that decision\. That's the problem I work on\. I lead product for an enterprise agentic AI platform for finance operations, in production internally, in pilots and deployment with enterprise clients\. I own it end to end: vision, roadmap, an 18\-person cross\-functional team, and the standards that make agent behaviour defensible\. Before this, I spent two\-plus years shaping product and GTM strategy for one of the world's largest technology companies' GenAI platform: competitive intelligence across the agentic ecosystem, translated into roadmap and positioning decisions\. The route here matters: 13 years moving with the industry: finance and consulting \(EY, Deloitte, JPMorgan, GitLab\), then analytics delivery, then AI\. Each phase brought better tooling to the same enduring question: how do enterprises make consequential decisions well? I write here about agent reliability, evaluation, and what it actually takes to put AI into production\. MBA \(Finance\) · MIT IDSS, Data Science & Machine Learning\.
