About

From Oracle developer to heading a global regulatory technology function.

My career began writing PL/SQL for Oracle's data-warehousing practice in Bangalore in 1998. Over the next 28 years I moved through Citibank's Asia-Pacific data and BI programs into Barclays, where I have spent 18+ years building the technology backbone for financial and regulatory reporting — from a single application team in Singapore to a 180-person organization spanning three continents. In 2022 I built out a new Glasgow, UK location from the ground up — a 20-person core team dedicated to regional support for European users — and grew the wider organization from roughly 90 to 180+ professionals over the four years since.

Today I head Regulatory Reporting Technology for Barclays' US and European businesses: IHC, broker-dealer net capital and customer reserve, and CCAR on the US side; CBI statistical reporting, SRB, AnaCredit, CoRep, FinRep, and asset encumbrance on the EU side. I sit on the Finance SteerCo, report delivery status directly to the CFO, and own the $20M annual budget behind it — $11M for the US portfolio and $9M for Europe.

"Regulatory technology only works when the org, the platform, and the people scale together — that has been the thread through every role since 1998."
