I lead cloud platform engineering and AI transformation inside ANZ Bank's Institutional Banking division — one of New Zealand's most regulated Tier-1 banking environments.
My teams span New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, and India. My mandate is simple: get AI out of experimentation and into production, embedded in real business workflows, with the governance to operate safely in a regulated bank.
"Most people talk about AI transformation. I'm doing it inside the hardest environment possible — and then training the team to sustain it."
