Especially in the financial industry, technology is today the decisive lever: for scalable business models, efficient processes and strong product performance.
I spent six years as CTO and Managing Partner of a quantitative asset manager with more than EUR 30 billion in assets under management. I led its technology division in a field where innovation is essential and demands on data quality, system performance, information security and regulatory compliance are exceptionally high. Today, I advise boards and technology leaders on strategy, modernization and delivery.
When you need to make difficult technology decisions quickly.
I help boards, business teams and technology leaders agree on priorities and make technology decisions. Together, we set a roadmap with clear milestones. I then support delivery or take responsibility for it as an interim CTO.
I have helped asset managers, investment funds and FinTech companies choose platforms, design data and technology architectures, and build data teams. This includes putting the structures and ways of working in place to achieve ambitious goals. My AI work ranges from signal generation and market forecasting to integrating AI into everyday business processes. I work on both the decisions and their implementation.
I am a physicist and PhD economist specializing in machine-learning methods in financial markets.
Technology strategy, organizational change, modernization and AI for asset managers, financial services firms and FinTech companies.
Together, we agree on what needs to change, set priorities and plan the work.
I help you choose and implement technology that supports your daily work.
I can help when decisions are urgent, teams need to agree or responsibilities need to change.
When time-to-market and regulatory frameworks such as DORA create pressure at the same time.
When business, technology and operations teams need to agree on priorities and responsibilities.
When delivery depends on clearer roles, better communication and cooperation across teams.
