• Successfully led an on-time greenfield launch of Salesforce Financial Services cloud. Authored business requirements, defined functional and security architecture, managed vendors and development team, collaborated with bank departments, supervised bus and real-time integrations, coordinated testing and training, and facilitated migration of 10 years of data from a legacy Sales/Service cloud, on time and within budget.
• After proving the success of e-signature applications for PPP and loan deferrals, guided stakeholders in the deployment of DocuSign for the Retail Banking business. Provided subject-matter-expertise and collaborated on new procedures and development, resulting in improved customer experience, reduced errors, improved efficiencies, and an annual benefit of $1.3MM.
• Conducted multi-team project kickoff based on the Scaled Agile Framework for the creation of a comprehensive Treasury Management platform in Salesforce. Guided teams through definition of business context, prioritization of features, review of current business processes, architecture, and functional stories. Led subsequent development efforts for pipeline management, client onboarding, automated exhibit generation, and entitlement management. In response to project blockers, shifted to launch of case management, resulting in a quick win in adoption and a reduction of 10%+ in case durations for 2,000 cases per month.
• In response to the SBA’s launch of PPP, over one weekend developed a DocuSign application and integration to Salesforce to handle a sub-set of application types. Development team continued with updates including a backend integration to the SBA. The solution was so successful that Cadence executives ended use of a third-party handling the bulk of loans and consolidated all into Salesforce. The system facilitated bankers approving 4,000 SBA loans, six times what was processed the entire previous year, with a value of over $1B.
