About

I view compliance as a complex puzzle, where regulatory boundaries define the playing field, business objectives are the goals, and my expertise lies in effectively connecting the two. Data is how I do it.

10 years across banking and fintech. BNP Paribas in Paris and Munich, then co-founding a regulated crowdfunding platform, one of the first EU-registered VASPs pursuing MiCA readiness from the ground up.

Data is not just a tool for me. It's what I genuinely find interesting. I like understanding how things work, and numbers are usually the clearest way in.
