Disha Goel

I’m a Senior Analyst with experience across financial institutions, specializing in translating complex financial data into actionable insights, performance improvements, and stronger governance frameworks. My work sits at the intersection of finance, strategy, and transformation, helping leadership teams make better, data-driven decisions.

In my current role at Nomura (Laser Digital), I’ve led finance transformation initiatives from the ground up, including the end-to-end implementation of the firm’s first vendor payment system, where I diagnosed process inefficiencies, coordinated cross-functional stakeholders, and reduced the payment cycle from 20 to 12 days (~40% improvement). Alongside this, I support firm-wide budgeting and forecasting, synthesizing financial data into insights that improve visibility into performance and key business drivers.

Previously, I built core finance processes, reporting frameworks, and executive dashboards (10+ KPIs), enabling the C-suite to track performance and drive strategic planning. I’ve also strengthened governance and control environments through my experience at Barclays, where I evaluated 400+ controls, identified risk gaps, and drove improvements in operational effectiveness.

Earlier, at Morningstar (PitchBook), I worked in venture capital research, analyzing 7,000+ transactions and leading data quality initiatives across 2,300+ companies, building a strong foundation in data-driven problem solving and market analysis.

I hold an MSc in Management from the London School of Economics and Political Science, and an Advanced Diploma in Management Accounting (CIMA), where I achieved All India Rank 1. I bring a structured, analytical approach to problem solving, with a focus on driving measurable impact in financial services.
