With more than 20 years of experience in banking and capital markets, my career spans roles at banks, market infrastructure and, currently, in the investment management environment. My work has been consistently focused on the product development of capital markets instruments. I have deep expertise in liquid capital markets products such as derivatives, FX, fixed income and equities, built on: - a strong academic and professional background (CIIA, CEFA, Frankfurt School of Finance & Management) - hands-on experience in trading and clearing of FX derivatives - the development of structured products and clearing infrastructures - my current responsibility for Post-Trade and the implementation of European transaction regulations (including EMIR, CSDR, MiFID). In addition to my role as Head the Transaction Services and Projekt Manager, I lecture on derivatives at the ICEP Academy and regularly speak on post-trade topics at international conferences. I have recently authored a comprehensive commentary on the latest EMIR revision as well as an article on the implementation of CSDR in Germany, both published by C.H. Beck. I am also actively involved in financial education, supporting the German fund association BVI by giving lectures in schools on a range of finance and economics topics.
