Seerat Kaur is a Board Member and Assistant Treasurer at the Sikh Religious Society in Chicago—the largest Gurdwara Sahib in the Midwest where she became the youngest and only female board member in 2024. In this capacity, she is a key decision-maker on all matters related to finance, complex religious questions, and day-to-day operational issues, working closely with the executive committee and community leaders to ensure smooth governance and strategic alignment. Her leadership spans everything from budget planning and federal grant funding to education, emergency response, and religious protocol enforcement—making her an on-the-ground steward of the Gurdwara’s internal economy and spiritual integrity.

Seerat also leads community programming as the head counselor for the semi-annual Gurmat Camp, managing over 15 counselors and staff and overseeing curriculum, safety, and operations for more than 100 children. She teaches Gurmukhi in the Gurmat School, nurturing early connections between youth and Sikh values, language, and identity.

Professionally, Seerat is a strategy and transformation consultant with expertise in financial services and digital innovation. She joined the Boston Consulting Group as a Senior Knowledge Analyst on the Global Digital Mobile Banking team. In this role, she has advised global banking clients across LATAM, EMEA, and APAC on omnichannel strategy, and digital transformation. Her work includes benchmarking over 300 mobile banking apps across 55 markets, designing prioritization tools, and leading executive workshops. She also authored BCG’s market perspective on how traditional banks can compete with digital challengers.

Before BCG, Seerat worked in the Loan Syndications Group at CIBC US, where she supported a portfolio of 335 syndicated loans ($20M-$1B) and agented over 30 transactions across sponsor finance, specialty lending, and commercial real estate. 

Seerat is currently pursuing her MBA at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, with concentrations in strategic management and entrepreneurship. She graduated from DePaul University as a Distinguished Keeley Scholar and is the founder of the DePaul Females in Finance Initiative, which raised $350,500 to support women pursuing careers in finance and became the first student organization to manage an endowment.

Seerat is passionate about blending analytical thinking, faith-based leadership, and solving the greater challenges the Sikh faith is facing at a large scale.
