Roshana brings over two decades of rich experience in academia, finance, and operational strategy. Prior to this appointment, she served as Chief Financial Officer at Monash College in Australia, where she played a pivotal role in advancing the institution’s financial and operational transformation. Her leadership strengthened fiscal resilience and governance while driving innovation in business and educational delivery models.

Before joining Monash College, Roshana spent over a decade at Monash University in Melbourne, where she rose through multiple leadership roles. As General Manager of the Faculty of Arts, she led strategic and operational planning across one of Australia’s most diverse faculties, managing a budget exceeding $215 million and a team of over 110 staff. Her expertise extended across finance, marketing, research operations, data analytics, and external engagement, contributing significantly to the faculty’s academic and global success.

Earlier at Monash University, she held the position of Deputy Executive Director – Financial Resources Management, overseeing the University’s $2.6 billion budget and ensuring sound financial performance across multiple campuses. She was instrumental in modernizing financial policies and implementing innovative budgeting frameworks that improved efficiency and reduced timelines dramatically.

Before her academic leadership journey, Roshana held senior finance roles at Deakin University, EY, Marsh, Virtusa, and Hatton National Bank PLC, where she developed deep expertise in corporate finance, investment management, and operational transformation. Her early consulting experience with Ernst & Young Global Consulting Services provided a strong analytical foundation that continues to underpin her leadership style.
