Background

About Khalid Merali

As a CPA with a Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) from UBC Sauder, I specialize in financial strategy, modeling, and performance management. In my current role as Senior Manager, Cobrand Cards at RBC, I lead the financial planning, profitability analysis, and strategic evaluation of RBC's co-brand partnerships. I collaborate cross-functionally to optimize card performance, deliver actionable insights, and shape long-term strategies that drive customer engagement and sustainable growth. My background spans roles at RBC, Marlow, KPMG, and Volker Stevin, giving me a unique perspective across large financial institutions, fast-paced startups, and professional services. I thrive at the intersection of data, strategy, and execution with a passion for solving complex problems and delivering real impact. Outside of work, I coach emerging professionals and enjoy reading, golf, and staying active. Let’s connect to talk strategy, cards, or anything in between.
