A pivot, not a reinvention.

Twenty years inside financial services operations taught me one thing: the biggest wins live in the work people still do manually.

I spent two decades leading transformation programs at Brown Brothers Harriman, Euroclear, Deutsche Bank, and AXA. Lean Six Sigma audits, SOX remediations, regulatory programs across twelve jurisdictions, offshore team transitions, and the steady, unglamorous work of moving financial operations from manual to automated, from reactive to controlled.

In the last eighteen months, something changed. The tools changed. AI and low-code automation made it possible to deliver in weeks what used to take quarters. I rebuilt my own workflow around it — Lean Six Sigma combined with Claude API, Make.com automation, and Power BI dashboards.

MH Operations & AI Consulting is the result: bringing that combination to operations teams in financial services. Same principles, modern tools, evidence-led delivery.

Two decades of programs, three numbers that paid for the work.

51%

operational risk exposure reduced across three major programs

45%

process efficiency gained, measured cycle-time and throughput

65%

manual work eliminated through automation and process redesign
