• Represent and act as the single point of contact for all FMIs that TDS is a direct or indirect participant.

FMI Policy & Strategic Direction

• Work with internal stakeholders (e.g., operations, cyber risk, treasury, technology) to ensure preparedness and alignment with FMI and SWIFT compliance mandates.
• Track and inform internal strategy based on changes in FMI rulebooks, SWIFT Customer Security Program (CSP) standards, and BoC expectations.

Cybersecurity & Risk Oversight
