Dear Hiring Manager:

I am a business technology change management professional with extensive experience in the capital markets and financial services sector. My experience includes a total of ten years at Citigroup Asset Management, JP Morgan, and HSBC leading technical and business teams to support investment management, derivatives, and business technology transformations. In addition, my experience brings a 360-degree perspective as a consultant, solution provider, and internal technology director.

Consulting experience in financial services that includes leading the development of a global securities lending system, a credit risk data warehouse, and middle office trade processing system. This has entailed understanding the needs of prospective clients and presenting potential solutions to them and building client relationships to become the trusted advisor to them.

Experience as an internal technology manager at global financial firms leading large business technology transformation programs. This included managing global teams consisting of internal and third-party vendors and consulting firms.

Throughout my career I have worked at bridging the gap between business and technology. I have focused on a holistic end-to-end application of information technology, business process design, data, and, most important, people, to delivering business solutions. The scope of my experience includes project management, technology assessments, feasibility analyses, process design, custom development, and software package implementations. In most cases, introducing new technology solutions involves changing processes to realize the potential of the software being implemented. Introducing change and managing that change has been and is a big part of my work experience. In addition, through my various positions, I have acquired working knowledge of Agile and Lean Management methodologies. In all situations, my pragmatic approach has been to ensure a successful delivery that partners with the business stakeholders to meet their expectations.

Besides the experience, the key strengths I can bring to this role are:

Pragmatic approach to program and project management gained through years of actual delivery

Collaborative management style with emphasis on transparency and stakeholder communications

Strong communications and presentation skills

Strong work ethic

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you,

Anthony Murljacic
