Background

About Troy Cannon

I specialize in financial infrastructure operations and the integrity of high-volume transaction systems. Over 6+ years at Goldman Sachs leading FX settlement operations, I worked across daily global trades, focusing on transaction-level analysis, operational controls, and the reliability of global payment flows. My work sits at the intersection of financial systems and data. At Goldman Sachs I improved straight-through processing by 40%, reduced quarter-end settlement breaks by 74%, and standardized expected-vs-actual reporting across the settlement lifecycle to improve transparency and risk management. Earlier at Tesla, I used SQL to investigate cross-system billing discrepancies that generated $200K+ in annual savings, which sparked my deeper focus on financial systems integrity and data-driven operational analysis. I’m particularly interested in roles focused on treasury operations, payments infrastructure, and financial system reliability — where understanding how money moves between institutions, systems, and ledgers is critical to operational stability.
