VP — IHC/FRS Production Management · Montreal, Canada
A trilingual production leader with 10+ years bridging banking technology, regulatory governance, and enterprise product delivery across Tier-1 financial institutions. Promoted to VP in February 2026, steering IHC and FRS production platforms for BNP Paribas Canada with a mandate to set the standard for operational excellence.
A Vice President who grew through every layer of banking production — from hands-on analyst to platform owner to executive governance leader. I don't manage from the sideline: I set the standard, own the outcome, and bring teams with me.
My foundation is dual Master's degrees in software and computer engineering. I think in systems, speak in data, and translate complexity into decisions. Whether it's a regulatory constraint or an architectural gap, I find the signal in the noise.
Trilingual in French, English, and Arabic — I've built bridges across cultures, time zones, and disciplines. At BNP Paribas, that means aligning Montreal with Paris, business with IT, and today's operations with tomorrow's regulatory landscape.
Certified in AI Product Management and Data Analytics, I embed intelligence into operations — from Power BI dashboards that save teams hours daily, to AI-driven tooling strategies for the MENA fintech market. Innovation isn't a project; it's my operating mode.
Immigrating to Canada and rebuilding a professional reputation in a Tier-1 banking environment from the ground up — in a second language — across two different financial institutions and three distinct domains.
The transition from deep technical contributor to strategic production leader required rebuilding how I communicate, influence, and prioritize — learning to manage ambiguity at scale rather than solve problems in isolation.
Operating in IHC/FRS production means zero tolerance for errors in regulatory reporting. Delivering stability and innovation simultaneously — under audit scrutiny — demanded a level of operational discipline that defines how I lead today.
Pursuing AI Product Management and Data Analytics certifications while holding a demanding senior role reflects a conscious choice: technology is moving faster than any institution, and I intend to lead that change rather than react to it.
I believe the future of banking belongs to leaders who can hold two things at once: the discipline of operational excellence and the imagination to reimagine it. My path is to build systems that endure, teams that exceed, and a career that crosses borders.
Progressing from VP toward a Director-level mandate within BNP Paribas, with a focus on cross-regional production strategy and regulatory transformation at the AMER/EMEA level.
Embedding AI and data intelligence into production management and regulatory reporting — reducing latency, improving accuracy, and building the infrastructure for predictive operational governance.
Leveraging BNP Paribas internal mobility to extend my footprint internationally — whether through a Madrid assignment, MENA expansion, or cross-border fintech advisory — using trilingualism as a genuine differentiator.
The natural next step: owning a broader production mandate across multiple platforms and geographies, shaping enterprise-level technology governance within a major banking group.
Actively exploring BNP Paribas internal mobility opportunities in Europe, with Spain as a primary target — building a truly cross-border executive profile while deepening relationships in the EMEA network.
Building a parallel advisory practice targeting MENA fintech and financial institutions — offering AI product strategy, data analytics architecture, and digital transformation consulting as a high-impact side mandate.
Channelling experience in production management, AI integration, and cross-border career building into a published work and active LinkedIn voice — creating content that positions me as a go-to voice in banking technology leadership.
Open to conversations about executive production management, AI in banking, international mobility, and advisory opportunities.
