The Rise of Sameeksha Gupta: How a Finance Innovator Became a Global Vice President

In an era where finance is rapidly merging with technology, automation, and strategic intelligence, Sameeksha Gupta has emerged as a dynamic leader redefining the future of modern financial operations. Today, she serves as Vice President of Strategic Finance & Global Business Operations at Staffingly Inc.—a role earned through more than 15 years of international experience across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Her journey reflects discipline, reinvention, and a visionary understanding of how businesses must evolve to stay competitive.

Sameeksha’s career began in India, where she built a strong foundation in accounting, financial controls, and operational reporting. Early roles at Hicks Thermometer (IND) Ltd allowed her to streamline reporting systems and introduce automated MIS dashboards, improving efficiency by nearly 30%. Even at this early stage, she displayed an instinct for transformation—constantly improving processes rather than simply maintaining them.

Her most significant career leap in India came at Ashok Group Ltd, where she spent nearly a decade leading large-scale financial transformation projects. As Senior Project Manager for Finance Transformation, she introduced NetSuite Planning & Budgeting, generating more than $5 million in revenue growth through improved forecasting accuracy and better strategic alignment. She eliminated bottlenecks by designing automated reconciliation systems using NetSuite and Power BI, saving the company over $1 million annually. Her quarterly capital review processes helped recover $2 million from underperforming investments, further demonstrating her ability to blend strategy, data, and execution. These years shaped her into a financial transformation architect—one who could diagnose systemic inefficiencies and rebuild financial frameworks from the ground up.

With a desire to expand her global footprint, Sameeksha pursued an MBA in London followed by an MSc in Finance in Boston. This global education deepened her understanding of international markets, financial analytics, and cross-border business management. It also positioned her for leadership roles in North America’s highly competitive financial landscape.

At the Tara Paige Group in New York, she made an immediate impact. She replaced outdated workflows by implementing Workday Financials, saving the company over $500,000 annually through automation of budgeting and reporting. She introduced AI-driven forecasting using Prophet, improving forecast accuracy by 20% and identifying $5 million in growth opportunities. Her work accelerated planning cycles, increased adoption of digital systems across Europe and North America, and strengthened executive-level decision-making. She became known not just as an analyst, but a strategic partner capable of reshaping financial ecosystems.

Her elevation to Vice President at Staffingly Inc. marked the next phase of her influence. Here, Sameeksha overhauled global operations across the U.S. and India using Agile frameworks, boosting efficiency by 40%. She implemented AI and automation tools—Zapier, N8N, and GoHighLevel—reducing manual work by 60% and saving more than 3,000 staff hours annually. She expanded the company’s revenue pipeline threefold by building strategic outsourcing partnerships, adding $4.5 million in new revenue and strengthening its footprint across North America. Her collaboration with the CEO led to real-time dashboards and margin intelligence models that improved executive insights by 35%.

What sets Sameeksha apart is her leadership philosophy: finance is not a back-office function but a strategic engine that drives growth, agility, and transformation. Her blend of technical expertise, global exposure, and people-centered leadership has made her a standout figure in modern strategic finance.

From New Delhi to New York, Sameeksha Gupta’s rise to Vice President reflects the journey of a leader who embraces change, champions innovation, and continually redefines what financial leadership can achieve in the digital age.
