About & experience


In my 20 years as a lawyer I have built up a solid foundation in managing regulations, valuing risks and leading projects with a focus in banking and finance. I have good experience in governance and a particular passion for effectivising businesses and processes. We achieve success by a clear focus on the task, timely delivery and great collaboration.

My goal is to deliver pragmatic, risk-based solutions that balances regulatory demands with the business’ goals. I prefer to work proactively and build solid frameworks that raises the business efficiency and provides a sense of control for those in charge.
