About

Passionate about simplifying global trade finance and creating value through process innovation and collaboration. With over two decades at Citi Bank Group (CSIPL, E-Serve, TCS), I’ve built expertise across LC issuance, supplier finance, import/export operational requirement, and trade compliance. My career has been defined by two core strengths — client centricity and continuous process re-engineering. Whether transitioning retail trade clients to another bank or driving system automation projects, I have led teams that bridge operations, product, risk controls and client experience. My next career milestone is to leverage this experience toward a Trade Finance Product Manager role — where I can design and scale digital solutions that empower clients and simplify global trade flows. Recognized for building collaborative teams, mentoring future leaders, and creating client-centric solutions that drive business growth. I believe leadership is earned through trust, consistency, and impact — and I aim to be a leader through teamwork and solution-driven execution. 🔹 Key Strengths: Trade Finance Strategy | Digital Transformation | Process Automation | Client Advisory | Document Compliance | Product Development | Leadership & Mentoring
