About Vipul Rathi

I am a technology leader in banking and capital markets with 20 years of experience running large-scale technology organizations supporting trading and post-trade platforms.Currently I head Fixed Income Post Trade Technology, managing a global 50-member team aligned to CIO strategy, covering multiple sub-asset classes and business functions including middle/back office, risk and operations. My focus is not only delivery, but creating a predictable, stable and trusted technology organization that business stakeholders rely on.I specialize in unifying fragmented teams, improving operating models, and strengthening governance so that technology becomes an enabler rather than a bottleneck. My work has centered on improving platform stability, increasing delivery reliability, and building stronger partnerships between business and technology leadership.I am particularly passionate about developing leaders within teams, creating accountability, and establishing clear ownership structures. I believe successful organizations balance transformation with operational excellence — keeping critical platforms stable while still moving forward strategically.
