About Yaver A. Baig

I am a capital markets professional with experience spanning multi-asset trade operations, risk management, and post-trade systems, currently working as a Manager at HSBC and previously with JPMorgan Chase.Over the years, I have worked at the core of exchange-traded and OTC derivatives workflows, owning trade lifecycle validation, exception management, cash flow booking, MTM adjustments, and downstream settlement across multi-currency portfolios. My work has focused on ensuring accuracy, control, and resilience in high-volume, high-risk environments where operational failures translate directly into financial and reputational risk.A significant part of my journey has involved transforming operations through automation and systems thinking. I have led and contributed to initiatives improving STP and reconciliation efficiency using tools such as Xceptor and DUCO, helping streamline tens of thousands of daily transactions, reduce manual touchpoints, and accelerate NAV validation and reporting timelines. I regularly partner with technology teams to define requirements, participate in UATs, and deliver scalable workflow improvements.Beyond execution, I have experience building MIS and KPI-driven dashboards for senior management, supporting better decision-making, transparency, and risk oversight. I have also been involved in team building and hiring, working with senior leadership to shape roles aligned with long-term operational and control objectives.My broader interest lies in how financial systems scale under stress — across traditional markets, evolving settlement technologies, and emerging areas such as digital assets. I am particularly drawn to roles that sit at the intersection of markets, operations, risk, and product or systems design, where domain depth and structured thinking can drive meaningful impact.
