What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build on my execution foundation and grow into a more origination-focused mandate, bringing rigorous credit judgement and transaction management to a team's business development efforts.

At Barclays, I support a US leveraged-lending portfolio as a credit approver and reviewer, providing independent credit judgement and structuring input. I also oversee credit assessments and lead debt transaction execution, including financing structures, lender relationships, term sheet negotiations, and credit documentation.

At MUFG Bank, I owned the loan lifecycle for clients across APAC, from origination support and underwriting to portfolio monitoring. Earlier, at ICICI Bank Limited, I originated corporate banking business and managed client relationships; I'm now looking to grow into a more origination-focused mandate.
