Chief Manager — Wealth Operations, Compliance & Process Transformation

Where the compliance thread of this career was built: wealth operations run day to day, and a control framework designed to live inside the work rather than audit it afterwards.

The Remit

Wealth operations, with the framework on top

Wealth Operations

Domestic & international private banking

Ran domestic wealth operations and mutual-fund processing, international private banking and cross-border payments — working daily with registrars, custodians and fund houses across the value chain.

Risk Framework

The operational-risk control framework

Designed the framework the business still runs on: RCSA, KRIs, incident capture and loss-event analysis — controls designed with the operators who would live inside them.

Compliance

FATCA, CRS, AML & CFT in daily workflows

Embedded FATCA, CRS, AML and CFT requirements into daily workflows — tax transparency and financial-crime controls as operating procedure, years before CRS 2.0 made the convergence explicit.

Reporting

NAV reconciliation & investor reporting

Governed daily NAV reconciliations and investor reporting, maintaining settlement accuracy and timely disclosure across the fund operations book.

"Compliance as operating procedure — not as an audit that arrives afterwards."

This mandate is also where the writing on tax transparency begins: the questions raised by FATCA and CRS in daily wealth operations became, a decade later, the CRS 2.0 analysis published on Substack.
