Experience
Director -product Owner Change Manager
Apr 2025 — Present · Pune, IN
I am a senior Financial Risk Management leader with over 20 years of experience working across Tier-1 global financial institutions, partnering closely with business, risk and technology teams to deliver complex regulatory and strategic change. My career has been shaped by a passion for building strong risk frameworks that not only meet regulatory expectations but also create real business value through improved transparency, capital efficiency, and decision-making.I have led large-scale Basel and FRTB (IMA & SA) transformation programs end-to-end, covering Backtesting, PLAT, RFET, RRAO, RNIV, and advanced capital methodologies including SBA, IMA, and DRC. By combining quantitative rigor (VaR, Expected Shortfall, stress testing, capital metrics) with practical execution, I have consistently delivered 12–20% market risk RWA optimization while ensuring 100% on-time regulatory submissions to PRA and FINMA with zero material findings.Beyond frameworks and models, I take pride in building and mentoring high-performing, cross-functional teams of quants, analysts and technologists. I believe sustainable transformation happens when people are empowered, aligned and clear on the “why” behind the change. I have successfully scaled offshore delivery models, managed multi-million USD (5–8M) budgets and driven enterprise-wide data architecture and risk system modernisation initiatives spanning 70+ trading desks across Equities and Credit.Colleagues describe me as calm under pressure, commercially aware and deeply collaborative. I enjoy translating complex regulatory and quantitative concepts into clear, actionable insights for senior stakeholders and I am motivated by solving challenging problems at the intersection of risk, data, technology and strategy.I am actively exploring senior leadership opportunities in Risk, Regulatory Transformation, and Capital Optimization, and welcome confidential conversations.
