In this episode of The AMPx Podcast, Charles and Raj discuss his rapid rise as an innovator in Risk Management of global banking and insurance portfolios. The risk standards of today were uncommon twenty years ago. Raj’s non-linear career growth placed him at the head of large business units of global financial institutions that required restructuring and new disciplines around aligning strategy with preservation of capital. His leadership and courage to take on the most challenging situations did not go unnoticed. In his 30’s, one of the largest financial institutions in the world hired Raj as their Chief Risk Officer to strengthen their Risk Management of a trillion dollar balance sheet in over 90 countries.


The need for innovation continues as the Covid Pandemic has placed new challenges on managing global business disruption risks as every business around the world experienced unexpected setbacks. Raj is currently serving on the boards of several of the world's largest financial institutions and continues to drive transformational innovation through entrepreneurial FinTech start ups.
