Profile

Enterprise executive. Global operator. Clarity Architect.

Portrait of Sheneq Aranda

Sheneq is a Vice President-level enterprise operations and governance executive with 15+ years of experience building the structures that let complex, regulated organizations move with clarity instead of chaos.

Her career has taken her from Singapore to London to Houston, across financial services, energy, and technology, always at the center of the hardest kind of work: cross-functional, high-stakes, and short on formal authority. At Shell in Singapore, she consolidated, reported, and analyzed a $400 million annual operating budget across 14 operating units and 9 time zones, spanning the Asia-Pacific and Middle East region. At Huntington National Bank, she scaled an enterprise BPO and automation capability from an early-stage idea into a governed, multi-function operating model spanning 10 business units and 175+ employees, delivering approximately $30 million in savings inside a $53 billion regulated institution. At Chevron, she brought execution discipline to a $6 million innovation portfolio valued at $150 million. At AIG, she led a national regulatory response affecting more than 5 million ERISA clients, on time, fully compliant, and $4.3 million under budget. At Deutsche Bank in London, she drove an international outsourcing strategy that cut more than $1 million in annual costs.

What ties her work together is a specific, defensible expertise: building operating models that scale inside regulated, ambiguous, and matrixed environments.

Sheneq holds an MBA in Strategic Management from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a BS in Finance from Aurora University. She is a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and holds SAFe Agile and Certified Scrum Master credentials, and has completed generative AI training through Microsoft.

She currently serves on the boards of Multipier and the Upper Kirby Foundation / Levy Park Conservancy, and previously served as board vice president of Dance Houston. She is based in Houston, Texas and works with clients nationally and internationally.

Sheneq had a keen attention to detail and was a valued business partner to our department. She was the primary relationship partner for our BPO program and we interacted on multiple different projects. It was a pleasure working with such a wonderful person and professional colleague.

Sheneq did an excellent job helping me, as a researcher, manage my projects and navigate our budget and finance processes. I was always really impressed by how she went out of her way to learn enough technical details of our work to really understand what we were doing. Couldn't have asked for a better partner.
