SENIOR FINANCIAL ANALYST - FINANCIAL ANALYST II (9/02 to 2/05)

MORTGAGE DATA ANALYST (12/01 to 9/02)

. Coordinate the annual budget and monthly forecast process for the

Master Servicing Division through building and maintaining budget and

forecast templates for portfolio, revenue, staffing and total expense

projections, as well as conducting meetings with business managers to

discuss assumptions.

. Serve as administrator for the Cognos Analyst system which involves

downloading and reconciling actual expenses from Hyperion/Essbase,

downloading and reconciling actual staffing data from PeopleSoft

(Human Resources database), adding new accounts and cost centers to

ensure data integrity, creating back-up libraries and managing version

control.

. Prepare and present monthly presentations that contain key strategic

issues, key operating metrics, key financial trends and variance

analysis (actuals vs. budget and actuals vs. forecast).

. Work with the business managers of the Master Servicing division on

cost/benefit analysis of new initiatives both during the budget season

and throughout the year - based on both net present value and payback

methodology.

. Provide various ad-hoc reporting to Lehman Brothers (parent company),

business partners and Senior Management.

. Work with business managers on staffing/capacity models and on

identification or redefinition of key drivers and standards.

. Develop financial templates and database queries/macros for various

monthly and quarterly surveys throughout the fiscal year.

. Key accomplishments include:

1. Development of a dynamic pricing template based on volume

projections, staffing standards and key non-personnel cost

assumptions - allowing the company to quickly respond to request

for proposals (RFP's) from institutions such as Freddie Mac and the

U.S. Treasury.

2. Development of a Home Retention Group staffing and cost per unit

model for the Underwriting and the Loss Mitigation processing

functions based on identification of key volume drivers and

staffing standards - currently being used as a management tool to

assess productivity and efficiency in monthly business reviews, and

also serves as a scorecard for evaluating department performance.

3. Re-engineering of the Master Servicing float benefit projection

model by means of identifying the components of the remittance

balances received and tying each component to portfolio projections

- resulting in only a 1 to 2% variance from actual float benefit,

instead of a 50 to 60% variance based on the old "run rate"

methodology.

4. Re-engineering of the Master Servicing portfolio model to include

more specific detail relating to the inflows and outflows of units

and unpaid principal balances for each product type - resulting in

a quick and easy way to identify runoff and potential areas of

concern for Senior Management.

5. Re-engineering of the Servicing Division's cost of service model by

means of reallocating the expenses by product and delinquency

bucket and working with the business mangers in each area to

identify "levels of effort" within each allocation category -

allowed for the Lehman Brothers Bank Desk to better price their

loan acquisition deals.
