Process

Cash Management

I had the opportunity to manage the design and implementation of a new Cash Management system. This system improved efficiency and has already processed over £500M in withdrawals since its inception, demonstrating its success and impact.

Foreign Exchange

I also led the design and implementation of Foreign Exchange trading functionality, which included building workflow, User Interface (UI), and Application Programming Interface (API) to handle Spot FX and Forward calls to third-party applications. This functionality has allowed for seamless foreign exchange trading, benefiting the organization and its clients.

Data Analytics

In addition, I provided dashboards for complex data analytics using SQL stored procedures/queries. These dashboards improved decision-making by identifying 'slow' brokers through the Best Execution dashboard, helping to minimize client trading costs.

Business Analysis and Regulatory Change

Lastly, I worked with the internal Change Management team to advise and implement software enhancements across business areas such as Portfolio Management, Dealing, Compliance, Data Engineering, and Cash Management.
