Top 10 US Bank: Enterprise Cloud Migration & Business Optimization
Maintaining focus on business value throughout technical complexity while ensuring cloud migration enabled business transformation, not just technology change.
The Challenge
A top-tier financial institution faced the complexities inherent in any enterprise cloud migration: hundreds of mission-critical applications, intricate data models, and sophisticated reporting infrastructure all requiring seamless transition to AWS. The technical complexity was matched by organizational challenges—coordinating 30+ matrixed staff across project management, scrum teams, data engineering, and system development while maintaining regulatory compliance, operational continuity, and business performance. The stakes were high: any misstep could impact customer service, regulatory standing, or financial operations.

Established clear governance for cross-functional collaboration spanning multiple disciplines and leadership structures
Led team of five project managers while ensuring alignment across technology, business, and compliance stakeholders
Orchestrated migration sequencing to minimize business disruption and maintain service levels
Managed dependencies across applications, data models, and reporting infrastructure
Balanced technical requirements with business enablement, maintaining focus on operational efficiency rather than migration for its own sake
