About Swanand Deshpande
With 19 years of global banking experience, I lead the Operational Risk and Resilience function at Goldman Sachs India, where I drive strategic initiatives that strengthen the firm’s control environment and risk posture. I have built and scaled high-performing teams, implemented firmwide risk frameworks, and led transformational programs to embed resilience across critical business functions.My experience spans both 1LoD and 2LoD roles, enabling me to bridge risk perspectives and deliver practical, scalable solutions. I’ve contributed to several large-scale risk transformations that have materially enhanced governance, control assurance, and risk transparency. As a core member of senior risk forums, I actively shape strategy, advise on emerging risks, and influence decision-making at the highest levels. Passionate about developing talent, I actively mentor emerging leaders and champion a culture of innovation, accountability, and continuous improvement within the risk function.I am currently leading the Operational Risk departments initiative to embed Generative AI into Operational Risk—reimagining how risk is identified, monitored, and managed at Goldman Sachs.
