@rahulsharma40
I lead enterprise FP&A, P&L planning, finance transformation, and GCC strategy for global financial-services businesses.
What I'm looking for
I'm leading site-level FP&A and business management at First Citizens India, partnering with the Country Head on planning, investment cases, performance, and a ~$100M cost base. I've improved site productivity and cost structure by ~7% through vendor optimization and insourcing, while reducing executive reporting cycle time by ~30% through automation.
Previously at PwC India, I led greenfield GCC build-outs for financial-services clients, including strategy, design, and transition of 800+ FTEs to India. I also directed teams across three continents on a $10M finance-transformation program and built reporting, KPI, and forecasting architectures for CFOs and Finance Directors.
At Goldman Sachs, I owned planning for a ~$2B P&L, built bottom-up zero-based models adopted as a divisional standard, and delivered ~$15M in savings through expense optimization. Across Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan, I've managed multi-billion-dollar portfolios, automated forecasting and reporting, improved cost performance, and supported pricing, capital allocation, and ROE decisions.
I bring 14+ years of finance leadership across global banks, consulting, and GCCs, combining financial modeling, executive reporting, operating-model design, and practical transformation delivery.
