ABOUT SHARAD RAGHAV

With 14+ years in financial services, I specialize in the intersection of private equity fund operations, investment banking research, and investor relations — bringing both front-office strategic thinking and back-office operational precision to every role. Currently at Citco Canada, I lead a team managing PE fund operations across capital activities, investor onboarding, and cross-functional compliance (KYC/AML, Treasury, Data Management). I thrive in high-stakes environments — resolving complex client escalations, driving process optimization, and building systems that scale. Earlier in my career, I spent nearly a decade at Acuity Knowledge Partners (formerly Moody\'s Analytics), rising to VP-level, where I supported global investment banks on M&A advisory, competitive intelligence, pitch materials (IMs, Industry Snapshots, Business Overviews), and financial research across sectors and geographies. What I bring to the table: Leadership of 15+ member teams across research, operations, and client delivery End-to-end M&A support — sell-side, buy-side, MBOs, and shareholder mandates Deep platform fluency: Bloomberg, Capital IQ, FactSet, Investran, PitchBook, Mergermarket Investor reporting, capital call/distribution processing, and KYC compliance Management reporting, due diligence, credit analysis, and competitive benchmarking I\'m passionate about building efficient, high-performing teams and delivering excellence in complex, fast-moving financial environments.
