As the Senior VP, Global Head of Payment Technology at Truist, I lead the strategy, innovation, and execution of the payment technology solutions for one of the largest US banks. I leverage my deep and broad financial services expertise, spanning across banking, wealth management, investments, insurance, finance, treasury, credit, lending, and mortgage, to deliver value to our clients, partners, and stakeholders.

With over 15 years of experience in the financial sector, I have a proven track record of transforming large organizations and managing complex initiatives. I have successfully led the integration of multiple business and technology organizations in M&A programs, the implementation of enterprise infrastructure and architecture, and the enhancement of risk and compliance capabilities. I have also helped US banks expand their international presence and offer diverse payment products and services. I am passionate about driving digital transformation, fostering product innovation, and building high-performing teams.
