What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, values innovation, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am an accomplished Operational Risk Manager with over 6 years of experience in the banking sector, specializing in operational risk evaluation and control enhancement. My journey has been marked by significant contributions to organizations like JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley, where I have successfully assessed processes and driven evaluation efforts across multiple business groups.

Recognized as an 'Energetic New Entrant' by the Chief Risk Officer at AU Small Finance Bank, I have demonstrated my ability to deliver results through effective testing and comprehensive documentation of control measures. My role has involved collaborating with global teams and presenting findings to senior management, ensuring that operational efficiencies are not only identified but also implemented.

With a strong academic background, including an M.Com and an MBA in Finance, I am committed to continuous learning and professional development. I am eager to leverage my skills in risk management and operational efficiency to contribute to a forward-thinking organization.
