Senior Corporate Action Analyst at Barclays Bank PLC US who cut reconciliation turnaround time by 35%.

United States

Message

At Barclays Bank PLC US, I manage mandatory and voluntary corporate action events, from elections and proxy voting to income processing and reorganizations. I reduced end-of-day reconciliation turnaround time by 35% and daily manual processing time by 40% through workflow improvements and market data feed integration.

I also investigate cash and share position breaks between internal accounting systems and global custodian banks. I identified and escalated a discrepancy in voluntary tender offer terms before the market deadline, preventing more than $450K in potential financial loss.

Previously, as a Loan Syndication Closer at Barclays Bank PLC US, I managed settlement of primary and secondary syndicated loan trades and resolved trade exceptions while meeting contractual deadlines. I maintained data integrity and audit readiness in Loan IQ, ClearPar, and related servicing platforms.

My earlier experience includes processing residential mortgage loans at WELLS FARGO HOME MORTGAGE and coordinating aviation operations in the UNITED STATES ARMY. I bring experience across financial operations, controls, and high-volume processing, supported by my Master of Public Administration from Strayer University.
