About Durgesh S

For over 15 years, I have been driving transformation for global asset and investment management firms, with deep expertise in data management, analytics, and large-scale platform modernization. As a Senior Manager at EY, I lead the design and execution of data-driven strategies that deliver measurable business impact, operational efficiencies, and sustainable growth.I spearheaded the development of the AI-driven Fund Workbench, providing a single, AI-powered view of fund insights across asset classes (ETFs, Private Equity, Mutual Funds, etc.). This innovation enables predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and scenario-based decisioning, empowering clients to make faster, smarter investment and operational decisions.I built and scaled a managed services business that generated $500M in additional revenue, expanding EY Comply into a global platform supporting regulatory, financial, and tax reporting across multiple jurisdictions. Through this work, I partnered with senior stakeholders to increase platform revenues by growing assets under management from $1T to $6T in just five years.In addition, I have led cross-functional teams to architect modern data ecosystems integrating structured and unstructured data into governed, cloud-based lakehouse environments. By aligning product-centric data strategies with client needs, I enabled reusable APIs, scalable reporting frameworks, and continuous platform enhancements.As a certified Agile and Lean practitioner, I apply proven methodologies to drive large-scale transformation programs, strengthen governance, and deliver client-centric innovation at scale.
