Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

My career began in classic retail banking and evolved through international transformation and regulatory programs at financial institutions such as UBS, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, and Santander, towards complex enterprise transformations in an international environment.

For over 15 years, I have been supporting companies in modernizing platforms, optimizing governance and operating models, and managing complex change initiatives in regulated organizations. I have gained extensive experience in Germany, the UK, and Switzerland, combining different perspectives from business, governance, product management, and technical implementation.

Throughout my projects, I have been involved in numerous strategic initiatives – including BCBS239, IFRS9, and Risk Modelling programs, enterprise migration projects, and digital platform initiatives with over 20,000 users. My focus is particularly on managing complex stakeholder landscapes, stabilizing governance and release structures, and successfully implementing large-scale transformation and modernization projects.

I combine structured program and governance management with product management and pragmatic delivery control – with a focus on transparency, scalability, risk management, and sustainable implementation in complex enterprise environments.
