About Nikunj Chandak
I am a Business Finance professional with 9 years of experience partnering with business leaders to improve margins, build finance structures from scratch, and drive profitable growth across global markets.At Wipro, I led the turnaround of a loss-making Brazil sector to 30% gross margins within 1.5 years by establishing financial governance, cost discipline, and account-level profitability ownership with business teams. I have also built finance structures for new delivery units and service lines from the ground up and worked closely with leadership on strategic investments and restructuring initiatives.Currently at Mastercard, I partner with Services leadership across CA & E, Open Finance, and CTO portfolios on planning, forecasting, and cost optimization initiatives. I institutionalized Currency Neutral Exposure governance, designed an Early Read forecasting model with 95–98% accuracy, led a $1B+ expense deep dive covering vendor and personnel optimization, and presented strategic analysis directly to the Services CFO.My core strength lies in Business Finance partnering where finance moves beyond reporting and actively influences business decisions, margins, and growth.
