I lead the design and recommendation of hedging strategies to mitigate FX and interest rate exposures, while also identifying prudent market opportunities to enhance yield and preserve capital.In addition, I have led the transformation of the Group’s treasury front-office operating model through the implementation of a Treasury Management System (TMS), strengthening operational efficiency, governance, and resilience across both treasury and finance functions.With over 20 years of experience in global financial markets across leading banks and a diversified conglomerate, I bring deep expertise in risk management, liquidity optimisation, and disciplined income generation. My focus is on safeguarding capital while delivering sustainable, risk-adjusted returns and enhancing the Group’s long-term financial resilience.
