About Harshita Chavva
I’m a strategic finance leader who builds and scales finance functions — from establishing capabilities from the ground up to driving planning, performance, and transformation across complex, highly regulated, multi-billion-dollar enterprises.Over the past 18+ years, I’ve worked across the full lifecycle of organizations — from transaction advisory and early-stage build environments to high-growth scaling phases and large, complex enterprises — giving me a broad perspective on how businesses evolve and what it takes to operate effectively at each stage.I’ve partnered with executive teams across financial services, SaaS-enabled e-commerce, and consulting environments, helping translate financial insights into decisions that shape how businesses operate, manage risk, and grow.At Citi, I lead planning and finance execution across large, evolving organizations, supporting leadership through forecasting, cost strategy, and transformation initiatives. My work spans enterprise FP & A, workforce planning, and governance, including strengthening financial controls and supporting large-scale transformation programs with clear performance frameworks and executive reporting.Previously, at Boxed, I was part of the leadership team during a critical pre-IPO phase, owning liquidity planning, scenario modeling, and board-level analytics in a capital-constrained environment — balancing growth with financial discipline and risk visibility.I started my career in M&A advisory at KPMG and have also built finance functions from the ground up, including as the first finance hire at companies like Pharming and Essence.I focus on building financial frameworks and operating rhythms that leadership teams rely on — connecting long-range planning with day-to-day execution and enabling better, faster decisions. I’m a CPA and currently completing CRISC, reflecting a strong focus on governance, risk, and control frameworks alongside strategic finance.
