About
My Journey
I am a Business Analyst and Product Owner with 15+ years of experience in banking, including eight years focused on digital transformation, API-based partner integrations and product delivery. I worked at the intersection of business, IT and external partners, turning business needs into customer-facing digital banking products. My experience includes co-branded cards, remote onboarding with KYC and AML controls, payments, bancassurance and partner integrations. These products served retail and SME customers and were delivered together with IT, compliance and operations teams.
In my Product Owner work, I prepared the business case and P&L before approval and then took the product through requirements, backlog, delivery, UAT and launch. I owned the backlog, roadmap and requirements for the delivery team while remaining hands-on in business analysis.
My Business Analyst work sits at the intersection of business, technology, compliance and partner integrations. I turn business and regulatory needs into clear requirements, customer journeys and testable solutions, then stay involved through UAT, launch and post-launch performance tracking. I also coordinated KPI reporting to monitor product adoption and operational performance.
