During his tenure at Brink's Inc., he also directed corporate budgeting, forecasting, and investment boards, championing rigorous ROI and Economic Value Added (EVA) structures while enforcing customer credit-stability vetting to protect commercial margins. Across these roles, he specialized in turning manual, bottlenecked finance departments into lean, data-driven strategic partners. By implementing right-sized automation and process re-engineering, he has consistently accelerated closing cycles, reduced transaction costs, and optimized working capital metrics like DSO and DPO to free up trapped operational cash. Prior to his executive corporate leadership roles, Naresh built a foundational discipline in public accounting at Ernst & Young.
