Product strategy and execution spanning payments infrastructure, global markets, enterprise banking, and insurance. I work with product leaders and ExCo teams to turn business problems into roadmaps that risk-averse leadership can actually use. I also do 0-to-1 product builds, C-suite advisory, and commercial development. Shaping propositions and getting them live in financial services.
Deep experience across banking and financial services. Building products, managing global markets initiatives, and navigating enterprise infrastructure. I know the regulatory complexity and compliance-heavy environments where AI conversations can get stuck.
Recently led a 10-week AI strategy engagement with a major Southern African payments company. Executive alignment, functional assessments across 10+ departments, AI maturity evaluation, use case prioritisation, and a roadmap delivered to ExCo. Governance matters, but the real work is building a practical AI strategy that risk-averse leadership can actually use. Not a technology wish list.
This is the work I do. Getting risk-averse leadership comfortable with AI, building governance that helps rather than hinders, and starting with business problems rather than technology. I go functional readiness first, then governance as enabler. Not gatekeeper.
