Back to original languageAbout Karina
I am a project manager with 20 years of experience in IT project management, mainly in the banking sector. I manage digital projects in all phases, from initiation to production.
As a project manager, I have delivered electronic trading systems to banks, brokers and exchanges in the Middle East, managing contracts of great value.
In my role, I have collaborated with various teams, such as developers, customer service, DevOps, and sales, to create electronic trading platforms. I have created detailed project plans, tracked budgets, deadlines, and quality, while providing regular reports to the executive committee. I master the entire project lifecycle, from initiation to production, using Agile methods. I am a certified SAFe Product Manager and SCRUM Master.
I am fluent in English and French, and I have a solid technical background. I have led teams of over 30 people in international environments. I am comfortable under pressure and have the skills to manage multiple projects at the same time.
I have also worked extensively with international teams. I have a master's degree in computer science and have studied at a business school. Thanks to my experience in technology and business, I can communicate well between technical teams and business managers.
