Summary
Sanil Purryag is an Operational Excellence Manager with eight years of experience delivering process improvements and production support across large banking and public-sector programmes. Based in St Andrews and currently leading operational excellence at BNP Paribas, he has driven incident-resolution improvements (25% higher quarterly resolution) and coordinated cross-border releases for real-time payments. His background blends applied statistics (MSc, St Andrews and GradStat of the RSS) with hands-on business analysis and monitoring leadership, enabling data-driven root-cause analysis and measurable KPI gains. He has led multi-site support teams and acted as release coordinator and senior business analyst on complex financial systems, translating regulatory and risk requirements into operational workflows. Comfortable at the intersection of finance, IT and operations, he brings both consultancy rigor from KPMG/Meritis/Accenture and practical tooling experience from early IT roles. A less obvious strength is his statistical training, which he leverages to quantify operational impact and design more robust incident-management metrics.
