Data-driven, business-minded.

Dubai resident · Previously Paris, Munich · Available for new opportunities

About

I'm a data professional with a background in banking and fintech. Most of my career has been at BNP Paribas, one of the world's largest banking groups and Europe's leading bank by assets, in Paris then Munich, working on risk data and internal audit. In 2021 I co-founded Gains Associates, a regulated crowdfunding platform based in Lithuania and Dubai, operating as an accelerator providing tech services to accelerate the growth of the startups we onboard. I have been living in Dubai since then.

What I'm looking for now is a data role where the technical work is inseparable from the business reality. I've spent years at the intersection of data and decision-making: consolidating risk portfolios, training audit teams, running due diligence on startups. And I find that context is what makes data work meaningful. I want to keep doing that: use data to understand how a business actually works, not just to report on it.

I'm a lifelong learner and enjoy figuring out how things work.

A Tableau dashboard built on French government open data to make rental yield analysis more accessible. The data quality turned out to be a limiting factor, good enough to explore trends at a high level, but not reliable enough to go further.
