Tell us about your expertise?
I have over 18 years of expertise in transforming organizations through innovative solutions, enabling technologies, and process optimization, I have had the privilege of helping clients achieve exceptional business outcomes across various industries and corporate cultures. My career in management consulting began at Deloitte Consulting from 1998 to 2006 and continued at Ernst & Young, where I worked from 2009 to 2017. During these years, I honed my experience in finance and business transformation with a focus on target operating model development, systems implementation, and continuous improvement. Between these two roles, I had the opportunity to join RBC in their internal consulting practice, where I specialized in process improvement across various functions including insurance, AML and Finance.
