About Anirban Dasgupta

I’m a senior finance executive with deep expertise across a broad range of finance functions (accounting, SEC and regulatory reporting, valuation modeling, treasury, risk management, and audit) for financial services companies and large corporations. My career background also includes 10 years of Big 4 experience at Deloitte in audit and advisory for technical accounting and systems implementation, performing business valuations for private equity investment companies at JP Morgan Partners, and managing real estate investments for private equity companies at Goldman Sachs.As a trusted advisor and business partner to corporate controllers, treasurers, and CFOs, I leverage a data-driven approach in guiding on financial implications, leading high-performing teams on a global level, improving operational efficiencies, and quickly adjusting to evolving regulatory environments and business growth.For the past ~14 years, I’ve held various senior roles with global team leadership for AMEX across multiple controllership functions, including derivatives and hedging, M&A, accounting policy and advisory, global treasury, balance sheet risk management, and liquidity risk management. In my current role as Global Head of Liquidity Risk & Balance Sheet Risk Management, First Line of Defense, I report to the corporate treasurer, and oversee AMEX’s balance sheet resilience, its transition from a Cat IV to Cat II bank, market risk strategy, and insurance operations. I built out the liquidity risk management team from 5 to 20 to support the bank’s future category change, remediated multiple regulatory findings from the 2023 banking crisis, and performed a significant uplift to liquidity risk management practices and stress test assumptions.Previously, I served as the Global Head of Balance Sheet Management, leading global funding strategy, ALM strategy, investment management, and hedging market risk with derivatives. As Global Treasury Controller, I oversaw all treasury activities, such as company debt issuances, investment activities, derivative transactions, SEC and regulatory reporting, and financial instrument valuation services. In my earlier roles, I advised on global accounting, supported M&A deals, and oversaw end-to-end derivatives accounting and reporting processes.I thrive on working cross-functionally with the business, external reporting teams, and auditors where I can advise on strategic direction, solve complex financial problems, manage medium to large-sized teams, and drive long-term business growth.
