Hello,

I am Kiran 'key -run'

About Me

WHO AM I ?

An analyst with a little over 4 years of experience across multiple domains including Banking, IT Services, Digital Marketing and Strategy, and Hospitality. As an analyst I am very Solution Oriented and take pride in pro-actively developing and assessing strategies that impact and support enterprise level business objectives. Having spent the last couple years consulting at Wells Fargo, I have driven my career to progress with an entrepreneurial spirit and passion be it taking multiple roles within an energetic start-up at the beginning of my career or working at one of the largest banks in US. Each opportunity has trained me to tackle a wide range of challenges in an efficient way while I gained experience in leadership and business roles. I am heavily inclined and focused towards roles that require cross-functional interaction, optimizing flow processes, aligning teams to achieve strategic goals, and most importantly enhancing end user interaction.
