@vamanrao
I lead financial-services data, KYC and post-trade transformation programmes from strategy through delivery.
What I'm looking for
I've led transformation, product and data programmes for Santander, Luxoft, Genpact and Broadridge across client hierarchies, corporate lending, KYC/CLM, reference data and post-trade operations. At Santander, I led a COO-sponsored client hierarchies programme supporting a €75M revenue portfolio, migrated 105K+ records and reduced request turnaround time by 40%.
Across 26 years in Tier-1 banks, FinTechs and financial market infrastructures, I've taken complex programmes from C-suite advisory and pre-sales through solution design, product development, target operating model design and BAU transition. I've delivered Fenergo implementation, BCBS239 data transformation, clearing and settlement platforms, and SaaS collateral-reference-data products while leading global teams and multi-million-pound change.
