About Charlene Chen

I am a finance and technology professional working in the capital markets with a passion for turning complex challenges into practical, impactful solutions. My career began at CIBC Mellon, where I advanced from Junior Fund Accountant to Team Lead—leading a high-performing team, streamlining processes, and fostering a collaborative work culture. Today, I work as an Intermediate Business Systems Analyst at the capital market at FIS, where I bridge business needs with technology to enhance trading and fund management systems. Alongside my professional role, I am pursuing my MBA at the Rotman School of Management (Class of 2028) and am honored to be selected as a Forte Fellow—recognized as an outstanding woman leader with the potential to drive meaningful change in business. With a unique mix of fund accounting expertise, business analysis skills, and leadership experience, I am committed to creating solutions that add strategic value in the fast-moving world of capital markets.
