With 27 years of comprehensive experience in Banking in Global Markets across Sydney, Tokyo, and Singapore, encompassing trading, risk management, sales, and middle office operations, I have had the privilege of working with tier one global banks such as Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, and Citi. Furthermore, I founded and managed a top-tier boutique consultancy, specializing in assisting financial institutions in Asia in building new businesses across trading, prime and custody, securities lending, collateral management, and driving transformation across select areas of the front-to-back trade lifecycle. My expertise extends to understanding global macro trends and their impact on financial markets, which I combine with a deep knowledge of Fixed Income, FX, Rates, and Credit from front to back, affording me a unique 360-degree perspective of the business landscape. Over two decades of navigating the dynamic growth of financial markets in the region, I have played pivotal roles in helping build new businesses, contributing to the development of innovative products, and implementing robust risk and regulatory solutions. My proficiency extends beyond driving business growth; I possess a holistic understanding of support areas such as Risk, Technology, Legal, Finance, Compliance, and Operations. This depth of subject matter expertise, coupled with a high EQ, decisiveness, and effective communication skills, enables me to adeptly resolve complex issues and drive strategic initiatives forward. I am deeply passionate about cultivating high-performing teams to sustain business expansion across the entire spectrum from front to back. I firmly believe in balancing revenue growth with strategic investments in digitalization while prioritizing the development of teams and employees grounded in ethical leadership and a risk-aware culture. These values are integral to shaping the bankers of the future, and I am committed to fostering environments where they can thrive.
