ABOUT ARAVINDHAN
I am a Strategy and Operations leader with 6+ years of experience at the intersection of financial services, technology transformation, and business strategy. Currently a Senior Management Consultant at PwC Canada, I have spent my career translating complex business challenges into scalable operational frameworks and measurable outcomes for some of Canada\'s and North America\'s most prominent financial institutions.My work spans end-to-end program leadership, regulatory compliance transformation, AI-powered automation, and cross-functional strategy execution. I have led a $17M AML technology transformation for a major US bank, managed a 300+ person regulatory remediation program for one of Canada\'s top three banks, and secured over $5M in new business through strategic client development, all while maintaining a consistent focus on delivering outcomes that stick long after the engagement ends.What sets me apart is the combination of Big 4 consulting rigour, a builder\'s instinct, and genuine technical fluency. I have deployed AI automation agents using LLM/Gen AI Solutions that reduced manual effort by 60%, led model validation and ETL analysis using SQL and Databricks, and completed Prompt Engineering certification, because I believe the best strategy leaders today need to understand the technology they are shaping decisions around.Before PwC I held senior roles at Bombardier, where I led new business integration and pricing strategy across North America, and at Tata Consultancy Services, where I built banking technology solutions for European financial institutions.I am particularly interested in roles at the intersection of strategy, operations, and technology, where I can own outcomes, influence decisions at a senior level, and contribute to building something that scales.Core areas of expertise: • Strategy Development and Execution • Digital Transformation • AML and FINTRAC Compliance • RegTech Implementation • Program Management • AI and Automation • Cross-functional Stakeholder Management • Executive Communications • Data Analytics
