Samridhi Kumari, Vice President, Sr Legal Counsel and Company Secretary, AllianceBernstein

Strong Company Secretaries go beyond statutory compliance, they build governance that withstands regulatory scrutiny and corporate crises.

Samridhi Kumari has been elevated to Vice President, Sr Legal Counsel and Company Secretary at AllianceBernstein, bringing 10 years of experience across corporate law, listed-company governance, insolvency, and global asset management. Her career spans Corporate Legal Consulting, the Videocon Consumer Durables, and AllianceBernstein, progressing from corporate secretarial advisory to complex insolvency management and cross-border legal strategy.

At Videocon Consumer Durables, she managed governance and regulatory compliance across five stock exchanges during a major corporate insolvency resolution process, coordinating with regulators, exchanges, and resolution professionals. At AllianceBernstein, she drives legal strategy, governance modernisation, and AI-enabled compliance, aligning India operations with regulatory frameworks across the US, EMEA, and APAC. Her differentiator is the combination of crisis-tested governance, insolvency expertise, regulatory engagement, and cross-border legal strategy. A qualified Company Secretary with an LLB, she brings this experience to global financial services.

At Boardroom CXO, we're seeing financial institutions increasingly value legal leaders who combine regulatory depth, corporate governance, and technology enabled compliance.

For legal leaders: What is harder, aligning India operations with global regulations or modernising compliance without slowing business?
