About Nitin Kumar Sinha

Having been inspired by individuals from diverse backgrounds in the commodities risk space, I have developed into an effective leader within the Energy commodity industry. I am passionate about embedding a risk and reward mindset that allows the organization to confidently take risks and convert opportunities into value. My risk philosophy is based on partnership with the commercial organization and encouraging agile decision-making geared towards success.As an effective influencer who is well respected for leveraging business content and cultivating strong positive working relationships across functions, I stand for proven success in bringing about a significant improvement in the organization’s competence and culture.I enjoy bringing together a forward-looking valuation-driven mindset with wider risk metrics that break across the silos of Market, Credit, Liquidity, and Operational risk to focus on their interactions and overall Business Risk. My strengths include commercial acumen and a deep understanding of the value drivers, accelerated comprehension of complex and new topics, and leadership and guidance to highly technical teams.Outside of work, I play and watch tennis and follow chess.
