I’m Vivhan Rekhi — a legal and finance professional with cross-border experience spanning litigation strategy, investment banking, and regulatory design. I’ve led everything from building end-to-end legal infrastructures and managing commodity deals to advising on sovereign pitches and negotiating with top-tier private equity firms. I studied Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance and Business Economics as a Trustee Merit Scholar & Honor Student at USC Marshall, and Administration of Justice at Rio Hondo College (enrollment post–junior year completion at USC) as a Dean’s Honor Student, completing and continuing coursework across both fields to build cross-domain fluency. I’ve also founded Rescuing Wisdom and Eco Nourish — initiatives recognized by the Princess Diana Award and other national and global honors. Whether architecting compliance protocols, coordinating elder-rights restitution, or designing audit-grade logistics chains, I bring analytical rigor, creative problem-solving, and stakeholder fluency to every challenge. I believe in actionable reform, narrative precision, and the quiet discipline that turns vision into infrastructure.
