About Me

I build and lead AI-enabled risk, underwriting, and portfolio intelligence platforms for large investment firms managing over $125B in AUM. My work sits at the intersection of risk, AI/ML, quantitative research, and data architecture, turning private credit and multi-asset portfolios into scalable, transparent decision systems for CIOs and CROs. I operate as an AI-driven risk product owner: defining problems, shaping roadmaps, aligning stakeholders, and driving adoption across PMs, risk, data, engineering, and senior leadership. Problems I focus on solving: • Fragmented and manual underwriting • Limited early-warning visibility in private credit • Risk analytics not influencing IC/CIO/CRO decisions • AI/ML pilots that fail to scale due to governance or trust gaps • Long reporting cycles that slow investment judgment and oversight Examples of impact: • Built AI-enabled underwriting and monitoring systems for a $125B+ private credit platform, improving speed, consistency, and governance across deal teams • Improved downgrade/default forecasting accuracy by 60% using ML ensembles, contributing to a 40 bps improvement in loss outcomes • Automated financial and covenant analysis across 2,000+ documents using GenAI, accelerating monitoring cycles by 75% • Reduced risk-reporting turnaround by 90% while supporting $125B+ AUM across global portfolios • Designed portfolio insight and early-warning engines used by CRO and IC leadership to oversee complex private credit and multi-asset books Where I create the most value now: • CRO-track roles in investment risk, AI, and portfolio intelligence • Head of GenAI / AI Product Strategy for underwriting, monitoring, or investment platforms • Head of Risk Analytics & Quant Research for credit or fixed income • Senior roles modernizing AI governance, decision systems, and portfolio tooling in alternatives, private credit, or insurance platforms If you’re looking to build a risk function, AI-enabled risk, credit, or portfolio decision systems in a regulated, high-stakes environment, I’m always open to connecting.
