In detail:
Cindra is a financial services consultant with extensive experience helping firms respond to changing market, technological and regulatory requirements centred on financial and non-financial risks. Her areas of focus include: treasury management, balance sheet management, liquidity risk, resiliency, climate, and ESG working across front, middle and back offices. She believes now more than ever, risk and control practices need to be at the forefront of business decisions to drive sustainable business outcomes, and is passionate about harnessing technology to do this.
Cindra’s career began at Morgan Stanley in treasury, followed by EY, both places she credits for developing a solid bedrock of skill and expertise in financial services. Today she draws on this to increase Baringa’s footprint in the US. Her experience in the industry provides her the ability to connect the dots and bring lateral and innovative thinking to her clients.
A strong advocate for DEI and female advancement, she stresses the importance of collaboration with teams and clients. She enlists an empathic approach to help everyone arrive at the best possible outcome which is instrumental in helping her win the confidence of clients and her team.
Outside of work, Cindra can often be found enjoying art shows and gallery openings with her husband Crispin. In a former life Cindra was a tennis player but these days you’re more likely to see her in the stands at the US Open than on the court.
