About Me

I’m Sudhanshu Deo — a problem solver at heart, a technologist by curiosity, and a finance professional by training. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve navigated the complex intersection of finance, data, and technology — consistently driven by one core belief: every problem hides an opportunity for intelligent design and smarter solutions.

My journey has been anything but linear — and that’s exactly what shaped my approach. Starting my career in traditional Product Control roles, I quickly realized that static reporting or business-as-usual processes were rarely enough in an environment evolving at the speed of regulation and technology. Instead, I developed a habit of looking deeper — questioning legacy systems, connecting silos, and using technology not just to automate tasks, but to completely redesign how work gets done.

This mindset has stayed with me across global financial institutions like JP Morgan, Credit Suisse, RBS, Lloyds, and most recently at Paysafe. Whether it’s designing regulatory data stores to comply with GDPR and AMLD-IV, implementing Treasury Management SaaS platforms, or leading data transformation roadmaps — my work has consistently revolved around bridging business needs with emerging technology capabilities.

Problem Solving with Purpose

What sets me apart isn’t just that I can map business processes or deliver a roadmap — lots of people can do that. My real edge is in how I approach ambiguity.

Give me fragmented data systems, inefficient workflows, or tangled regulatory requirements — and I see a landscape ready to be reshaped. I enjoy diving into chaos, understanding the moving parts, aligning stakeholders with often competing priorities, and designing solutions that stick — technically feasible, operationally sustainable, and commercially smart.

This has led to real, measurable impact:

  • Automating payment processes at Paysafe, freeing up 2 FTEs.
  • Creating centralised data governance forums that drive faster decision-making.
  • Delivering an API-linked data platform at JP Morgan, ensuring compliance while reducing operational friction.
  • Building automated MIS systems at Lloyds to support MTN buyback decisions — giving traders real-time clarity.

For me, problem-solving isn’t about throwing technology at an issue — it’s about understanding root causes, designing human-centric solutions, and enabling people to do better work.

Learning is My Competitive Advantage

The finance industry doesn’t stand still — and neither do I. I’m deeply committed to continuous learning, especially at the intersection of data, regulation, and technology.

Throughout my career, I’ve invested time in mastering new tools, adapting to emerging regulatory landscapes, and working closely with tech teams to bridge the classic “business vs. technology” divide. Whether it was rolling out data privacy frameworks for GDPR compliance, setting up trade booking controls for UMR regulations, or collaborating with offshore teams on data remediation — I’ve always leaned into unfamiliar territory.

That curiosity is now extending into newer frontiers — SaaS platforms, API integrations, data automation, and decentralised reporting architectures. I thrive in environments where technology is evolving faster than the rulebook can catch up.

Collaboration Over Control

While my technical toolkit is strong, I firmly believe that the best solutions are born from collaboration. Working across front office teams, compliance, legal, operations, and technology — I’ve learned that influencing without authority, asking better questions, and creating space for diverse inputs often leads to breakthrough outcomes.

Building trust with stakeholders has been central to my delivery style. Whether I’m leading governance forums, running product workshops, or facilitating training sessions for end users — my approach is always the same: clarity, empathy, and consistency.

What Drives Me Forward

Today’s data-driven economy demands more than just domain expertise — it requires agility, systems thinking, and the courage to challenge the status quo. That’s exactly where I thrive.

My goal is to keep evolving as a product-minded problem solver — leveraging emerging technologies to create meaningful impact in financial services and beyond. I’m particularly excited about areas like:

  • Data strategy and governance
  • Productising regulatory compliance
  • API-driven architectures
  • Intelligent automation
  • SaaS platform adoption
  • Decentralised finance data models
