About

As an MBA candidate specializing in Business Analytics at Pace University, I am deeply passionate about leveraging data to drive strategic decisions in the real estate and investment management industries. With a BSc in Finance and Business Management from the University of Reading, my academic background and professional experience equip me with the analytical skills and industry knowledge necessary to excel in dynamic financial environments. During my tenure at Sunway Properties, I played a pivotal role as a Business Development Executive and Business Analyst, where I conducted thorough due diligence on 40 undervalued office buildings, identifying $600K in profitable real estate acquisitions. My work involved developing complex financial models that increased rental forecasting accuracy by 30% and implementing five cost-saving measures that reduced operating expenses by $50K. I have crafted compelling email marketing campaigns that generated 30 leads per month and achieved a 15% conversion rate for new listings. My collaborative efforts with the sales team resulted in a 30% increase in qualified leads. Additionally, I presented investment recommendations for properties with a 20% higher ROI, showcasing my ability to communicate key findings and support strategic decision-making. My participation in the CFA Research Challenge 2023 further refined my skills in financial analysis and modelling. I conducted in-depth analyses using P/E, EV/EBITDA multiples, and discounted cash flow methods, employing statistical modelling techniques such as regression analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, and value-at-risk to stress-test fundamentals and forecasts. I am skilled in Bloomberg Terminal, Python, R, Advanced Excel, Tableau, and Power BI. Passionate about numbers and data analytics and am eager to apply my expertise to drive growth and innovation in the investment management industry. I'm always looking to grow my personal and professional network. Feel free to connect via LinkedIn or contact me directly at mykarasan.sugumaran38@gmail.com.

• Built Python-driven analytics workflows (Pandas, NumPy) to structure and analyze high-volume financial event data (>$1B daily notional), reducing noise and surfacing decision-critical signals. • Designed automated monitoring systems (Excel VBA, Power Query, Power BI) that reduced manual review time by ~35% and improved response speed to anomalies affecting client entitlements and cash flows. • Developed scenario-based impact models to quantify how delays, misallocations, and lifecycle events propagated into downstream valuation, liquidity, and P&L exposure. • Identified recurring failure patterns and cost drivers through root-cause clustering, reducing repeat exceptions by ~25% and improving operational alpha. • Converted fragmented transaction-level data into portfolio-level intelligence, enabling leadership to assess aggregate exposure rather than isolated incidents. • Built dashboards that tracked key performance drivers (volume, resolution latency, error density), enabling proactive intervention instead of reactive firefighting. • Automated reconciliation logic across complex event structures, compressing multi-hour manual processes into minutes of deterministic computation. • Quantified hidden value leakage in lifecycle workflows and designed controls that preserved economic value otherwise lost to timing and processing friction.
