What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead investment banking, global custody, or financial-services operations teams where I can strengthen controls, improve automation and STP, manage regulatory risk, and deliver measurable service-quality improvements.

At Wipro, I lead brokerage clearance and exchange reconciliation operations for NAM and EMEA clients, overseeing cash and position reconciliations, payments, accruals, and settlement-related controls while maintaining 99.5% SLA adherence.

I've driven STP and workflow automation using SmartStream TLM and RPA tools, reducing manual effort by 35%. I also own operational risk and control governance, using FMEA and RCA to remediate gaps and achieve zero critical audit findings across two consecutive cycles.

Across Wipro, Willis Towers Watson, and State Street Syntel Services, I've built and led teams supporting global custody, fund administration, KYC/AML, SWIFT payments, FX settlements, client onboarding, and reconciliation break resolution. I bring 19+ years of operational leadership, including LEAN-led improvements that reduced invoice-processing errors by 28%.
