Background

About Umesh Devi

I thrive on challenge, change and people. As a seasoned finance professional I have served various senior leadership cross functional positions with international banks across the world. With my breadth and depth of experience in Corporate Finance, Product Control, Financial and Regulatory Reporting I bring rich knowledge of financial products, regulatory compliance along with leading highly complex process transformation/remediation/redesign, simplification and accounting/regulatory implementation. Beyond my technical skills, I bring enriched ability to influence senior business leadership ensuring shared ownership of organization's overall strategy and execution. I take pride to be recognized as hands-on problem solver seamlessly navigating ever demanding finance and regulatory reporting ecosystem. My passion for results and personal accountability for achievements drives me to demonstrate stratergic leadership in delivering business value through vision, governance and executive management. I deeply value talent development by constantly recruiting, empowering and guiding qualified, multi-disciplined and high performing individuals/teams who are equally committed and passionate in achieving excellence. Relationships prevail over titles and collaboration over competition; which leads me in fostering positive results with a diverse group of stakeholders across all levels. My comfort in navigating heavily matrixed corporate environment along with strong executive presence and strength of communication enables me to articulate complex topics in simple terms driving positive results and collaboration. I strongly believe "Change is the only thing which is constant, rest all can be innovated; so challenge, learn, adapt and rise". I often find myself working on complex or tedious processes that need a finance expert to come in and give new perspective, processes and procedures. This belief and my strive for adding value in every small thing I do has led me to apply a simplified approach and divergent thinking to achieve numerous process transformations and automations articulated into enhanced controls, efficiencies and effectiveness. I have a track record of doing just that, and welcome opportunities where I can not only continue to use my expertise, passion and drive to improve the bottom line but also overall working experience of people.
