What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in finance that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation.

I am a finance professional with over 10.6 years of experience in hedge fund accounting, financial reporting, and collateral management. My career has been marked by a proven track record in reconciliation, fund onboarding, and striking NAVs for various fund structures. I have developed a comprehensive understanding of both pre and post-settlement activities, cash and collateral management, and financial reporting in accordance with IFRS and US GAAP.

Throughout my career, I have consistently helped organizations optimize their operational efficiency and service delivery. My proactive approach, combined with strong leadership and communication skills, enables me to mentor junior team members and build effective relationships with stakeholders. I am passionate about leveraging my global experience to identify operational gaps and share strategic insights that drive business objectives.
