SKILLS
ABOUT NAZIA TABASSUM
Covering a portfolio of Private Capital, Hedge Fund, and mREIT clients based out of North America as the credit adjudicator for lending and trading facilities at RBC since 2024. Global experience working for RBC, HSBC and Standard Chartered for ~14 years. Took 18 months off to do a full time MSc in Finance from Simon Fraser University from 2022-23.I spent four years in the Client Coverage team in StanChart covering a portfolio of Financial Institutions (Banks, Broker-Dealers, Insurance, etc). For a brief time, also covered Government Related Entities (Energy and Airlines), structuring term loans to these industries based on cashflow analysis.Eight years in HSBC, predominantly covering credit approvals. I really enjoyed my attachment with the Structured Banking team in 2017 at HSBC, where I successfully handled a Structured Export Finance deal after financial agreement but before completion of Condition Precedents for a local RMG and our partners included European counterparties (Proparco - French DFI, Swiss Re - ECA). I specialized in credit underwriting, loan structuring, and internal team negotiations. I have a proven track record of managing complex and diverse portfolios, and building long-term relationships with key decision-makers in the credit approval chain.In terms of credit structuring, I am familiar with different credit facilities - term loans (bullet, amortization, with moratorium period, asset-backed lending, mortgage-backed lending), short-term loans (receivables-backed lending, export/import financing, working capital loans, bridge financing), FX solutions, money market solutions, repos, counterparty credit, etc. depending the client\'s need and payback period.A troubleshooter by nature, challenging processes and improving/fixing gaps. A cross-functional collaborator, often called in to influence, resolve and align stakeholders to meet milestones/deadlines.Top leadership skills: Purpose-driven, Bold, Client-oriented, Collaborative, Dependable, Inspirational.
