About

Professional summary

I am an AI product leader with 5+ years of experience building and scaling AI/ML products in regulated environments, especially banking and enterprise settings.

I currently lead a portfolio of AI products at Bank CenterCredit, including an enterprise LLM platform, AI agents for Legal, HR, and Analytics, and a real-time AI assistant for contact center operations. My work focuses on delivering secure, compliant, and high-impact AI solutions that are adopted by large internal user bases.

Previously, I co-led enterprise-wide AI transformation at InDrive, where I helped drive AI adoption strategy, model rollouts, and company-wide enablement for thousands of employees. I enjoy working at the intersection of product strategy, machine learning, and organizational change.

My background includes end-to-end ownership of AI product lifecycle work: discovery, roadmap definition, prioritization, experimentation, evaluation frameworks, and production delivery. I am especially experienced with RAG architectures, agentic systems, vendor management, and stakeholder alignment across engineering, data, security, legal, and leadership teams.

I have a strong track record of improving business outcomes through AI products, including increasing accuracy, reducing manual work, improving retention efficiency, and accelerating delivery processes. I am comfortable operating in complex environments where speed must be balanced with governance, privacy, and reliability.

I am open to senior product leadership opportunities where I can continue building practical AI products, scaling adoption, and helping organizations turn AI strategy into measurable business value.
