I’m a risk management professional specializing in GRC, model risk governance, and internal controls for financial services.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Risk Management professional with 5+ years of experience in GRC, Compliance, and Internal Controls within financial services. I focus on leading risk assessments, control testing, KRI development, and governance automation—bringing consistent accuracy and accountability to every engagement.
In my current AVP Model Risk role, I govern 80+ regulatory and business-critical models under SR 11-7 and internal MRM frameworks. I built and automated weekly and monthly Model Governance Dashboards, reducing manual tasks by 30% and data retrieval time by 48%, and I monitor end-to-end model lifecycle events including change management, performance monitoring triggers, and periodic reviews to improve SLA adherence and remediation tracking. I also collaborate cross-functionally to manage model variations, performance reviews, and policy exception requests, ensuring business and governance alignment.
Previously at Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Amazon, I strengthened operational and compliance outcomes through proactive risk reporting, transaction/fraud dispute review, case and profile audits, and QA support for time-critical audit remediation. I enjoy translating complex risk requirements into clear executive reporting, and I’ve contributed to practical solutions—from mentoring training batches to developing ideas and models like an ESG compliance SaaS concept and a DCF valuation capstone.
