About Vinoth Kumar

I am a Treasury and Product Control professional at Standard Chartered, specializing in Hedge Accounting, Structural Hedge Management, and Risk Control within Treasury.At SCB, I contributed to increasing hedge capacity by 20% through exposure analysis and strategic hedge alignment. I identified high-effort structural hedge reporting processes that required 3 days of manual preparation and redesigned them using SQL and Python — reducing turnaround time to 30 minutes while strengthening control accuracy. I am currently setting up scalable frameworks to further enhance structural hedge capacity by an additional 30%.Previously, at Arcesium, I worked in Treasury Collateral & Liquidity Management within the hedge fund domain, covering OTC derivatives including ISDA, Repo, and FOC agreements. I led process improvement initiatives that increased operational efficiency by 30% across collateral workflows.I also spearheaded automation programs: • Automated Interest Reconciliation processes, saving 3 FTE• Automated Collateral Interest workflows, saving 2 FTE• Improved trade settlement efficiency to ~40% through structured data transformationMy core strength lies at the intersection of Treasury expertise, risk governance, and automation-driven efficiency. I leverage Python, SQL, VBA, and intelligent process design to build scalable, control-focused financial systems.I believe the future of Finance lies in combining strategy discipline with automation, data intelligence, and structured process design.
