AI & Emerging Technologies: Lead AI-related initiatives (e.g., ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, etc) in partnership with AB Technology, serving as the business sponsor for implementation and training. Cross-Functional Process Optimization: Partner with functional heads to streamline and digitize workflows across Originations, Credit, Middle Office, Legal, and Fund Finance. Re-engineer manual or fragmented processes, applying data integration, automation, and standardized templates.
