About Ismail

Finance consultant with 6+ years of experience in high-value-added projects for major French and international financial institutions (Crédit Agricole, HSBC, BNP Paribas).

My core business: managing complex projects at the intersection of credit risk, banking regulation (IFRS9, ECB), and financial information systems.

What I concretely bring to my clients:

→ End-to-end management of finance & risk projects in Agile mode
→ Product Ownership on critical tools (rating, scoring, reporting)
→ Independent review and audit of quantitative models (ECL, economic capital, asset correlation)
→ Business/IT interface: writing functional specifications, leading workshops, UAT
→ Regulatory compliance: IFRS9, ECB OSI, LoD2, prudential reporting

An engineer by training (prestigious French school), I combine analytical rigor with a focus on delivery. I work in both French and English in international environments.
