United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am an Executive Director with 26+ years in financial services, an original founding member of Broadridge BPO who helped grow the business from day one. I specialize in operations across Asset Management, Capital Markets, Wealth Management and Consumer industries, delivering regulatory compliance, client onboarding, and global settlement oversight.
I have led large global teams (700+ members) using follow-the-sun models across Asia, Europe, Canada and the US, managed trillions in transactions across 61–64 currencies/countries, and drove revenue-generating service expansions such as Stock Loan that produced $1.7M in recurring and one-time revenue. I design and implement technology and training solutions—leveraging AI, RPA and vendor partnerships—to improve accuracy and reduce risk.
I am hands-on from sale through onboarding and maintain top client satisfaction through executive reporting, governance engagement, and operational excellence. I seek leadership opportunities where I can apply my strategic, client-focused and transformation-driven approach to deliver measurable business value.
