Background

About Raju Kumar

With over 10 years of experience in the financial services industry, I am a senior business analyst at STG Labs, a leading provider of commodity trading and risk management solutions. I am passionate about delivering value to clients by understanding their business needs, translating them into functional requirements, and facilitating the development and testing of innovative software products. I hold the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA)foundation and the Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO I) certifications, which demonstrate my competence and credibility in the domains of finance and agile product management. In my current role, I work on a CTRM application that deals with physical contracts, post-trade activities, and logistics management. I collaborate with the product owner, the development team, and the stakeholders to define and prioritize the product backlog, create user stories and acceptance criteria, and ensure the quality and timeliness of the deliverables. I also leverage my previous experience in treasury risk management and financial forecasting, where I worked on interest rate risk and stress testing projects for a global financial institution. I have strong skills in data analysis, SQL, Excel, trade life cycle as well as a solid understanding of various asset classes, such as fixed income, bonds, equities, derivatives, options, and futures.
