What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an international, remote/hybrid-friendly role where I can lead enterprise-wide business transformation and data governance—using automation (Python/AI/N8N) to improve quality, transparency, and decision-making at scale.

I’m a transformational operations leader with 14+ years in global financial services, bridging financial acumen with technology-enabled enterprise transformation. I focus on ESG/financial data governance, enterprise operating models, and automation that makes teams faster and senior leaders more confident in the numbers.

At Clarity AI (2022–Present), I directed end-to-end data operations for sustainability and ESG initiatives across 40+ markets, leading vendor relationships and collection workflows. I designed and deployed automated real-time tracking systems with Python and SQL, improved operational transparency and efficiency by 20% in 6 months, and raised data quality from 91% to 98% through accountability frameworks, contractual SLA penalty clauses, and quality-gate checkpoints.

Previously at Morningstar India (2019–2022) and S&P Global (2011–2019), I led equity and financial data operations—scaling teams from 15+ to a 90-member cross-functional operations unit—and delivered measurable quality gains (from 11% defects to below 2%) through ML and Python auto-extraction and root-cause analysis. I bring PMP-certified programme management through OKRs, KPI dashboards, and SLA-backed operating models, while leading 75–80 FTE across geographies with a consistent, continuous-improvement mindset.
