Lead the integrated AI product portfolio and 12-to-18-month roadmap for DataXChange and InsightX, co-owning delivery plans with the Chief Product Officer and peer leaders across Trading, Settlement, and Asset Servicing suites. Execute outside-in product discovery using market problems, buyer personas, and win-loss analysis to define requirements and acceptance criteria, ensuring all capabilities are sequenced against existing suite roadmaps rather than planned in isolation. Partner with engineering, architecture, and delivery teams to manage dependencies, establish realistic release commitments, and drive commercialization through pricing, positioning, and sales enablement. Monitor adoption, client outcomes, and financial performance to refine priorities, while embedding governance by design including data rights, model documentation, and explainability into all product requirements. Build and lead a focused AI product team within the existing Product Management structure, evaluate vendor partnerships, and represent AI status in joint leadership cadences to ensure seamless integration across domain packs.
