At Prudential Corporation Asia, he led numerous operational efficiency and transformation initiatives while establishing and heading the Financial Crime Intelligence Unit, where he applied AI and analytics to detect and disrupt fraud, waste, abuse, anti-bribery & corruption risks, and organized networks. Earlier roles at BearingPoint (formerly KPMG Consulting), Unisys, and Bell Laboratories sharpened his expertise in large-scale systems integration, business transformation, and high-performance transaction technologies.

A Blueprint for Business Execution and The Jericho Principle—and contributor to two others, emphasizing agile transformation, strategic collaboration, and effective execution in dynamic environments.
