Global Head of Technology - Trade & Settlements @ Northern Trust | Technology Transformation, AI, Automation & Engineering Excellence with Quality first approach | GCC Leadership

About

As the Director and APAC Quality Engineering Head at Northern Trust Corporation, I lead a team focused on digital assurance, automation, non-functional requirements, and chaos engineering. We ensure the stability and resiliency of IT applications, infrastructure, and security in production. Prior to this, I was a CTO and founding member of a startup that digitized remote patient monitoring and preventive cardiac care. I envisioned and built remo.cardia, a remote cardiac monitoring platform that leverages AI, mobility, and biosensor wearables for early detection and management of cardiac events. This platform transformed healthcare by simplifying and personalizing it for patients and enhancing the capabilities of doctors. I also have experience as a Principal Consultant at Infosys, where I led technology consulting and IT transformation engagements, developed thought leadership and new market offerings, and managed client relationships. My focus areas include digitalization, AI, IoT, DevOps adoption, and RPA implementations. I hold a Certified Scrum Master certification from Scrum Alliance and have a strong background in embedded system design, electronics, and instrumentation.
