What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and strengthen custody, post-trade, or middle-office controls in complex capital-markets operations, with opportunities to drive automation, market-infrastructure change, and cross-functional delivery.

I've owned custody, post-trade, and middle-office controls across Sefer Investimentos, Citibank, B3, and J.P. Morgan, supporting equities, fixed income, derivatives, FX, ADRs, structured credit, and non-resident investor portfolios.

At J.P. Morgan DTVM, I led end-to-end post-trade controls for institutional non-resident investors, including settlement, reconciliation, tax operations, corporate actions, and break resolution. I also delivered Symphony Bots and Alteryx automation that generated approximately 0.6 FTE in capacity gains and supported B3 Post-Trade Integration and the T+3-to-T+2/iMercado migration.

I'm focused on protecting booking accuracy, settlement readiness, cash and position integrity, and resilient controls through close coordination with Front Office, Operations, Technology, Risk, custodians, and market providers.
