What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, encourages innovation, and values teamwork.

I am a dedicated financial analyst with a strong background in securities operations and trade settlements. Currently, I work at ING Philippines, where I manage internal and external securities transfers, ensuring smooth processing of tax settlements and securities instructions across borders. My role requires meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of financial products, which I have honed through my experiences in various financial institutions.

Previously, I served as a Senior Analyst at Deutsche Knowledge Services, where I led a team in high nominal trade settlements, contributing to Deutsche Bank's recognition as a top Fixed Income broker. My initiatives in automating regulatory reports have streamlined processes and improved efficiency. I also have experience in management consulting, where I supported clients in creating desktop procedures and advisory drafts.
