About

Anish Monci
Varghese

Product manager. Data translator. Automation builder. Operator at heart.

I spent 10 years in the Indian Air Force managing aircraft, critical operations, high-value assets, and teams of more than 170 people. At Northern Trust, I bring that operating discipline to payments, digital transformation, analytics, automation, and the work of aligning global stakeholders around a useful outcome.

I also build and ship software independently. That hands-on portfolio keeps my product judgement close to real users, technical constraints, privacy decisions, release trade-offs, and feedback—not only plans and presentations.
