I am a Financial Operations Leader with over 20+ years of experience in order‑to‑cash, billing, reconciliation, and audit governance across investment banking, retirement, and financial services. My career spans State Street, Fidelity Investments, Empower Retirement, and WNS Global Services, where I’ve consistently delivered operational excellence, automation, and compliance success. I specialize in SOX/SOC compliance, risk management, and process optimization, with a proven track record of leading global teams of 45 members, driving efficiency, and strengthening governance frameworks. My expertise includes automation, RPA, TLM optimization, and advanced analytics (Oracle, Power BI, Excel) to improve accuracy and scalability. To complement my financial operations expertise, I hold dual certifications as a Certified AI Foundations & Tools Specialist and Certified AI Product Development Professional (Be10X, 2026), endorsed by IIT Kharagpur mentors. These credentials reinforce my ability to integrate AI‑driven product innovation, generative AI tools, and monetization strategies into financial operations and leadership. I am passionate about leveraging automation and AI to transform financial operations, strengthen resilience, and deliver measurable business outcomes while building high‑performing teams and trusted stakeholder partnerships
