Summary
Vast experience in the area of forex, interest rates, liquidity/cash management, payments, and risk management with an emphasis on liquidity, operational risks and regulatory reporting (BaFin, FinMa). Solid project experience in migration, implementation, and design of risk and treasury systems as well as an understanding of how to use these technologies to create efficiency and cost savings. My affinity for IT and vast project management skills gives me an advantage to be able to communicate and facilitate between IT and Business to ensure projects are completed in a timely manner. I have no inhibitions in presenting figures to C-Level officers in English, French or German and holding a conversation with them. Effective advisor communicates well with people of all ages and backgrounds. Focused on introducing efficient systems and processes.
