About Ilham

With over 13 years of experience in the banking sector, I support risk management departments in the operational implementation of regulatory requirements, credit modeling (IRB), stress test exercises, and organizational transformation.

Formerly an inspector at LCL, I audited key processes (credit, recovery, compliance, data quality, governance) before joining Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance, where I managed strategic projects related to TRIM, IRB Repair, NDOD, EBA Stress Test, etc., for 7 years.

As head of prudential modeling, I led a team of 12 people and managed a large-scale transformation project (creation of a center of excellence, team merger, skill development, group IRBA animation).
I was also the modeling referent during the ECB mission on Basel models in 2021.

Today, I work as a freelancer to help banks reconcile compliance, operational efficiency, and technical excellence, by providing a strategic vision, rigorous management, and in-depth expertise in regulatory issues.
