I transform global risk and control functions through governance, automation, and scalable operating models.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I've led global risk, business control, and operating-model transformation at HSBC, Fiserv, and JPMorgan Chase across complex, multi-jurisdictional environments.
At HSBC, I transformed a 60+ member Global Markets Control Office into a strategic risk partnership function and built a Global Assurance Centre of Excellence that delivered 98% of global testing from Bangalore. I redesigned monitoring across 280 financial crime controls, cutting manual effort by approximately 80% and releasing approximately 2,400 hours annually for risk oversight.
I build practical governance, reporting, and automation solutions—from Fiserv's first consolidated Board risk dashboard to AI-enabled meeting documentation and technology-enabled control reporting. I lead distributed teams and cross-functional remediation to strengthen accountability, transparency, resilience, and control effectiveness.
