Summary
As a Business Analyst at ION, I have over 11+ years of experience in the Fintech industry, with expertise in treasury management, corporate risk, liquidity management, and cash management solutions. I specialize in business analysis, requirement gathering, and translating business needs into functional and technical specifications (BRD, FRD, use cases). I have extensive experience working with stakeholders, product managers, and cross-functional teams to deliver end-to-end solutions across the SDLC lifecycle, including requirement elicitation, impact analysis, Agile/Scrum delivery, UAT (User Acceptance Testing), and QA validation. I have successfully led system implementation projects, managing project scope, stakeholder communication, and go-live activities, ensuring alignment with business objectives and regulatory requirements. My experience also includes market data analysis, valuation modeling, and financial instrument analysis (derivatives, fixed income, FX), supporting treasury platforms like Reval (ION). I am proficient in risk reporting, liquidity metrics (LCR, NSFR), stress testing, and capital markets workflows, and have hands-on experience with tools such as SQL, JIRA, Tableau, and API-based systems. My focus is on delivering scalable, data-driven, and client-centric solutions that enhance operational efficiency and meet the evolving needs of global financial institutions.
