IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Operational Risk and Controls professional with 6.5+ years of experience across regulatory reporting, investment management operations, and financial controls at Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, and Morningstar.

I also owned MiFID-II client reporting for 2,000+ EMEA accounts with 100% deadline compliance, led recoveries of $1.2M in unbilled fees and reversals, and delivered executive-ready MIS dashboards and governance decks to strengthen control frameworks and support audit readiness.
