Mahesh Nejakar

I am a finance professional with 17 years of experience in financial operations, specializing in corporate actions, reference data, client support, and change management. My career has been marked by a proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and collaborate effectively with technology and operations departments. At Intercontinental Exchange, I led a 15-member operations team, managing the end-to-end income process for asset servicing and ensuring compliance with strict client deadlines.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong expertise in corporate actions and reference data, working closely with market data vendors like Bloomberg and Reuters. My role as a Senior Consultant at STP Investment Services involved capturing and correcting errors in corporate actions events, while also preparing reports to ensure all future events were accurately captured. I have a solid understanding of capital markets and have worked extensively with investment managers and custodians to facilitate decision-making in voluntary corporate actions.

In addition to my technical skills, I pride myself on my leadership abilities and my commitment to improving processes. I have a track record of proactively identifying areas for improvement and implementing solutions that enhance data quality and operational efficiency. My educational background includes an MBA from ICFAI University and a Bachelor of Commerce from Karnataka University, which have equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in the finance industry.
