About

I'm a finance professional with 5+ years of experience in global financial services, with a strong track record across investment operations, risk management, controls & compliance, and process optimisation. Working with Northern Trust — one of the world's leading financial institutions — I've built deep expertise in managing complex operational workflows, enforcing data integrity standards, and driving measurable improvements in efficiency and accuracy. I bring a combination of analytical rigour, cross-functional collaboration, and a controls-first mindset to everything I do. What drives me is solving problems at the intersection of finance and operations — whether that's reducing settlement failures, strengthening control environments, or streamlining processes that others have accepted as-is. I've also been actively involved in UAT testing — validating system changes, identifying gaps before go-live, and ensuring operational workflows perform as intended post-implementation. I've worked across trade lifecycle management, SWIFT settlements, reconciliation, treasury-adjacent functions, and client servicing — giving me a well-rounded view of how financial operations actually work end to end.
