About Bhaskar Subramanian

Strategic finance professional with 12+ years of leadership experience in FP & A corporate finance, risk analytics, and financial control, currently serving as Manager – Group FP & A & Risk Analytics at Liva Group (formerly NLGIC). A qualified ACA, FRM, ACMA, CS, and presently an EMBA candidate at IE Business School, I bring deep expertise in financial analysis, modeling, scenario planning, investment evaluation, and group budgeting. I have led group-wide planning cycles, built forecasting models, and supported strategic initiatives including M&A evaluations, cost optimization, and post-deal integration. My approach combines quantitative rigor with strategic insight, enabling data-driven decisions at the C-suite and board level. I’ve worked closely with CFOs, business unit leaders, and board stakeholders to translate strategy into financial outcomes like supporting capital allocation decisions, restructuring and optimizing cost centers and enhancing return on invested capital (ROIC). With a firm grasp of both operational and strategic finance, I thrive in dynamic environments where commercial understanding and financial acumen must come together to support business growth, digital transformation, and shareholder value creation. I’m experienced with finance tools like Anaplan, Hyperion, SAP (FICO, BW), Power BI, Excel (advanced modeling), and dashboard automation, and have worked cross-functionally with business heads, risk teams, and actuarial functions to drive alignment and performance
