Everything
A financial product can scale quickly. Judgment doesn't.
I turned hard-won expertise into clearer escalation, better visibility, and a way for more people to make the hard calls.
The product was live. The risk function wasn't.
I designed the first layer of risk control around a live payments business: visibility, ownership, repeatable decisions, then evidence for what to build next.
The same risk problem looked different to every team.
I helped different teams work from the same problem definition and built the decision record while the work was happening.
