Ash Chawla

“I have spent over 15 years in the financial services sector, 11 of which were specifically in commercial banking at Bankwest and Westpac. In my journey, I have been fortunate to acquire a specialised financial skill set where I managed some wonderful clients across a broad range of industries spanning from SMEs and large corporates, funding exposures in the range of $3m and $40m. 

Over the years, I have underwritten many complex banking transactions ranging from debt restructures and business acquisitions and management buyouts. I have a Master’s degree in Accounting and am a CFA Charterholder which further helped me enhance my knowledge of banking and finance. 

My motivation for setting up Lucid Finance was to bring my skills to a wider market by having deep and meaningful conversations with customers to identify their current challenges and work out apt solutions.”
