Akshay Vaidya

At Morgan Stanley, I support governance, regulatory oversight, and operational risk across global operations. I deliver management reporting, oversee outsourcing governance and SLA escalations, and strengthen controls aligned with MiFID, SFTR, and Client Assets regulations. By automating reporting and standardising workflows, I reduced manual effort by 40%, saved 70 operational hours in 2025, and identified over 800 hours of efficiency opportunities for 2026.

Managed a portfolio of 70–80 institutional investment clients, handling complex queries across settlements, FX, corporate actions, and tax. Led a team of 10, acted as the primary escalation contact, and coordinated cross-functional teams to resolve high-priority issues. Introduced SLAs, KPIs, and workflow improvements that strengthened service quality, improved resolution times, reduced recurring issues, and enhanced operational performance.
