I’ve spent 25+ years doing the kind of work most people sprint away from: turning regulatory chaos, accounting complexity, and fragmented banking data into clean, logical, and defensible financial architectures. My career started in EY’s Executive Temporary Management practice — the team companies call when the stakes are high and they need someone who can walk in, take charge, and fix things before the coffee cools.
Since then, I’ve worked across Zurich, Amsterdam, Brussels, Finland, the UK, and the US (where I completed my CPA studies), helping organizations like UBS, ABN AMRO, Nomura, Wolters Kluwer Financial Services, Intel, and others solve the problems that don’t fit neatly into a PowerPoint slide.
My foundation is deep accounting: structured notes, IFRS 9, hedge accounting, US GAAP, IFRS, and all the fun that comes with explaining controversial treatments to auditors without anyone reaching for the fire alarm. Over time, I became the person banks relied on to translate FINREP, COREP, IFRS 9, LCR, NSFR, AnaCredit and every other acronym into automated, scalable, audit‑ready data flows.
As finance and technology evolved, so did I. I moved into finance architecture and regulatory data design, building Single Source of Truth models, subledger logic, and reporting frameworks that actually work in real life — not just in theory. Somewhere along the way, I became the translator between finance, risk, IT, and engineering, making sure everyone is solving the same problem instead of four different ones.
Today, I’m keeping my original footprint intact while fully embracing the next wave: automation, cloud, and AI‑driven finance. I’m immersing myself in emerging technologies not because it’s trendy, but because the future of finance belongs to those who can combine deep domain expertise with intelligent systems. And I have no intention of being left behind — especially when the next generation of platforms is being built right where finance and tech finally speak the same language.
And beyond the technical side, I genuinely enjoy working with people. I like making complex topics feel simple, keeping teams energized, and adding a bit of humor to work that can otherwise feel… well, very unfun. On the side, I still help start‑up founders chase their international ambitions — something I’ve done since my business‑school days and still love.
If you’re looking for someone who brings competence, clarity, curiosity, and a light touch to heavy challenges - that’s where I do my best work.
