About

TLDR: AI Product Leader | 15+ years | FinTech / InsurTech / AI | Led 4× efficiency transformation at TigressAI | Ex-Prudential, E*TRADE I’m an AI-driven product and technology leader with 15+ years of experience building and scaling intelligent platforms across FinTech, InsurTech, and enterprise AI. As a co-founder at TigressAI, I lead the development of agentic AI that automates complex risk and compliance workflows, delivering 4x efficiency at 50% lower cost. I architected the LLM-powered Regulatory Intelligence Engine (RIE), which converts regulatory text into structured obligations, and built an LLM Evals framework to verify extraction accuracy and reliability through offline and online tests, regression suites, precision and recall targets, and safety gates. I am hands-on with Claude Code, Windsurf, and Figma Make, enabling me to prototype and ship MVPs quickly. I combine deep product strategy with hands-on AI execution, using Claude Code, Windsurf, and Figma Make to move from concept to functioning MVPs in days. As Chief Product & Technology Officer at 404 Harmony, I help early-stage companies accelerate AI adoption by embedding LLM-based automation in customer onboarding and support. Previously, I scaled product organizations at Prudential, Paceline, and E*TRADE, leading digital transformation, launching first-of-its-kind health and wellness finance products, and modernizing enterprise platforms adopted by millions of users. My focus today is on transforming regulatory complexity into code and building AI systems that can reason, make decisions, and act, thereby powering a new generation of operationally intelligent enterprises.
