What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead RegTech and capital markets compliance analysis end-to-end—translating MiFID II/MAR/AML into audit-ready specs, driving UAT, and aligning stakeholders to deliver reliable CRM and platform solutions.

I’m a techno-functional Business Consultant and Business Analyst with 11 years of end-to-end BFSI delivery across Europe and APAC. I translate complex regulatory and business requirements into functional specifications, SOWs, and system solutions that teams can execute with confidence.

My core strength is MiFID II, MAR, and AML compliance platforms—turning regulatory logic into workflows, documentation, and production-ready configurations. I lead stakeholder workshops from C-level to operations, produce BA artefacts (BRDs, user stories, process maps, traceability matrices), and steer SIT/UAT and defect management to minimize post-go-live issues.

I’ve delivered 10+ BFSI transformation programs and consistently hit quality KPIs (95%+), with CRM adoption reaching 90%+ within 4 weeks of go-live. I also standardize BA documentation to reduce rework and author detailed SOWs that align Sales and delivery expectations—bridging pre-sales scope to delivery reality.
