About Zakaria

Are you facing regulatory deadlines (RACI, RAF, ICAAP, ILAAP, PPR...) and lacking internal resources to produce your prudential deliverables? I can help.

Banking risk management consultant with 5 years of experience within European financial institutions, I intervene with complete autonomy on your regulatory compliance projects — from methodological scoping to presentation in risk committees.
My areas of intervention:

- ILAAP / ICAAP Reports: development, update, defense with the regulator
- ESG & Taxonomy Framework: materiality analysis, climate transition plan, EBA/GL/2025/01 compliance
- Risk Appetite Framework: design, indicator calibration, Board reporting
CRR3 / CRD VI: impact analysis, risk weighting compliance
- Stress tests & Preventive Recovery Plan
- Backtesting of IFRS 9 models (PD, LGD, EAD, ECL)

What sets me apart:

→ I don't just advise: I deliver final documents, directly usable by your governance and your regulator (ACPR/BCE)
→ Trilingual French · English · Arabic — cross-border assignments possible
→ Multi-establishment experience: retail banks, niche banks, fintechs, subsidiaries of international groups

Available for ad-hoc or long-term assignments, in-person or hybrid.
