SKILLS
ABOUT ROHIT GOVIND
When executives face decisions that are too complex for spreadsheets and too important to get wrong, they need someone who can make sense of the noise. That\'s what I do.My career has been built at the intersection of strategy, finance, and systems thinking — first at Goldman Sachs, where I co-led a global data strategy function and helped senior leaders in the Securities Division navigate performance, resourcing, and competitive positioning; and now at Sun Life, where I lead Finance & Value Management for a global HR function, serving as the primary strategic advisor to the CHRO.What I do isn\'t traditional finance. I build the frameworks that help leadership teams understand what\'s working, what isn\'t, and where to put the next dollar. I\'ve designed value management systems, project estimator tools, capacity models, and performance frameworks — all with the same goal: giving decision-makers clarity they couldn\'t get before.(Also a full-time dad. The two jobs have more in common than you\'d think.)
