What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply financial analysis, strategy, and process transformation experience to data-driven business decisions, digital transformation, and high-impact operational improvement.

I've improved financial operations and decision-making across Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Northern Trust, and the Global Climate Financing Center.

At the Global Climate Financing Center, I analyzed market, financial, and stakeholder data to develop recommendations supporting $4.5B in potential clean-energy capital deployment across Africa. I also synthesized interviews with KKR, World Bank, and UNDP into investor-focused insights.

At JPMorgan Chase, I led hedge fund and fund-accounting teams, translated portfolio and operational data into leadership insights, and standardized controls and reporting across client portfolios. Earlier at Goldman Sachs, I led private-equity servicing process migration across Singapore, Hong Kong, and Tokyo with 100% process accuracy.

At Northern Trust, I reduced manual intervention in FX confirmations by 95%, created the first Singapore FX Business Continuity Plan, and reduced recurring transfer errors by 80%. I'm completing a Global STEM MBA while building on my strengths in analytics, financial strategy, process transformation, and digital innovation.
