What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a managerial role where I can improve team performance, optimize processes, strengthen risk and control frameworks, and support sustainable organizational growth.

I'm currently managing tax documentation and W-8/W-9 form validation at Morgan Stanley, partnering on system migration initiatives designed to enable straight-through processing.

Previously, I supported Risk & Control for Morgan Stanley's US Wealth Management business, overseeing banking and brokerage reconciliations, break investigations, reporting, and process automation. I developed Alteryx workflows for reconciliation break reasons and suspense-account MIS reporting.

At J.P. Morgan, I led fund accounting client onboarding for the ANZ business and managed reconciliation of accrued income and cash accounts. I also supported Private Bank reconciliation and cash management across Asia, EMEA, and New York, including Nostro reconciliations, securities reconciliations, payment investigations, and wire-transfer exceptions.

My earlier experience at Thomas Cook and Kotak Mahindra Bank includes treasury, trade operations, Nostro/Vostro and general ledger reconciliations, regulatory reporting, sanctions validation, and automation projects. I bring more than 10 years of banking operations experience focused on stronger controls, accurate processing, and efficient workflows.
