Describe an incident when you were put in a challenging situation and how did you
overcome it?

In my current role, I was in charge of conducting scenario analysis becuase of onset of

LIBOR, which had major financial implication on deals.

The project was challenging both because of how large it was and because it involved
constant communication with at least 30 people across different geographies. Even though I
tried to share the same information with everyone, it was clear that not everyone was on the
same page.

Partway through, I discovered that some of the teams were not on schedule with their
assigned tasks. The implications were significant, and a delay to issue a Summary report of
the impact of using different curves could bring in market & regulatory challenges.

I identified the root causes of the delays and set up a plan of action to address them. I
planned in-depth one-on-one meetings with the team leaders to help re-inspire them. I then
organized and led status-update calls for the larger team and implemented a public
dashboard to keep everyone accountable.

In the end, we did meet the deadline and the transition turned out to be very smooth.
