Interpath Advisory has appointed Deepa Ramchandani to lead its Financial Modelling team in the UK as the firm continues to expand its integrated Data & Technology offering.
Deepa has more than 20 years’ experience in Financial Modelling in the UK, Singapore and India and joins from KPMG where she was Partner, Head of Technology Business Management, and part of the operational executive leadership of the UK firm.
Deepa began her career in Financial Modelling with EY in London and later set up the offshore modelling practice for the firm in India. During her time with KPMG, Deepa established its financial modelling practice in Singapore and ran Financial Modelling for UK Corporate clients, while also running global modelling training programmes in both jurisdictions.
As a Managing Director, Deepa will spearhead the growth of Interpath’s Financial Modelling offering which includes technology-driven forecasting and budgeting for a range of applications, such as M&A, project finance, carve-outs and leveraged buyouts, as well as risk mitigation, governance and decarbonisation scenario planning.
Interpath’s Data & Technology (D&T) team is led by Alex Dunstan-Lee and is integrated within the firm’s Advisory practice, which also provides Deal Advisory, Value Creation, Valuation, Tax, Forensic and Regulatory Advisory services.
Alongside Deepa, the firm has appointed two new associate directors in Sinan Tamer and Tristan Brown who respectively have experience in the modelling and analytics arena. Sinan Tamer joins from Duff & Phelps and has more than 15 years’ experience in valuation and modelling. Tristan Brown is a financial modeller and arrives from Macquarie Group. They join Simon Livings, Analytics leader at Interpath, and the existing modelling and analytics team – which has tripled in size in the last two years.
Commenting on her appointment, Manging Director Deepa Ramchandani, said: “The Interpath proposition is immensely exciting. The growth of the business since inception has been remarkable and now, as it expands into international markets, there is opportunity to support clients with complex, cross-jurisdictional modelling projects. The entrepreneurial culture of the firm, its support for women in leadership and the emphasis that Interpath places on inclusion and diversity are also incredibly attractive factors for taking on this role.
“I have a mandate to further grow the Financial Modelling team at Interpath which is already highly integrated right across the firm, from restructuring to deal advisory, with a broad range of complementary applications. For me, this is all about working with our clients to harness data and technology to empower our clients and support their strategic and operational decision making.”
Alex Dunstan-Lee, Head of Data & Technology at Interpath in the UK, said: “Deepa brings considerable UK and international experience in Financial Modelling to the firm at a time when there is exceptional demand from clients for data and technology-driven forecasting to help increase efficiency, mitigate risk, and gain insight. We thrilled to have her on board, alongside Sinan and Tristan, as we forge a formidable, multidisciplinary team.”
