Uday Kumar

I am a result-driven Risk, Ethics, and Compliance professional with over 14 years of cross-industry experience in banking and pharmaceuticals, recognized as a subject matter expert and trusted compliance advisor to leadership. I specialize in ABAC compliance, third-party due diligence, internal investigations, and driving a speak-up culture.

At Teva Pharmaceuticals I lead local implementation of global compliance policies, conduct risk assessments for Pan India sites, develop remediation plans, and deliver training on Code of Conduct and Anti-Bribery & Anti-Corruption. I proactively engage stakeholders and integrate compliance into business processes to establish zero tolerance for unethical practices.

Previously, in banking roles including Branch Manager and Regional Risk Manager, I managed branch audits, operational controls, AML/KYC reviews, enhanced due diligence, and fraud monitoring while mentoring teams and improving branch health and service scores. I have strong analytical skills in root cause analysis and operational risk reporting.

I hold a PGDB in Banking & Finance and an ERM Level 1 qualification, and I bring practical expertise with core banking systems, Microsoft Office, and working knowledge of SAP and ARIBA, all while promoting ethical business practices and continuous improvement.
