Profile

Obsessed with what the future might bring along and the impact of tech in our everyday-life, I am currently training to become an AI Engineer! And as a strong FinTech advocate, I love engaging into discussions about where the journey of finance and technology might take us.

Most recently, I have supported a leading FinTech in corporate travel—HRS PAY—which is on a mission to revolutionize payment in business travel, and optimize the traveler's experience. There, I have built the teams and processes behind the entire E2E payment onboarding journey (from consulting the customer to project-managing the implementation) and ensuring post-delivery success of the program via systematized KPIs delivery and data-tracking.

Previously, I have been Head of Mobile Banking and Executive Consultant at CGI Germany. I have led strategic projects in the finance industry across different geographies, including projects such as ensuring implementation of European Banking Authority recommendations/PSD2 requirements, as well as projects to help clients comply with the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR).

Before that, I have been working for a leading global payments provider in the business travel industry—AirPlus International (now part of the SEB Group)—serving as a project manager & product manager in the payments and business intelligence areas. There, I have led a variety of projects, from replacing an entire global virtual payment platform to defining the strategy for and integrating a new mobile payment solution. I have also been responsible for a program aiming at delivering a suite of new customer-facing reporting platforms in 40+ markets.

Alongside my roles, I am facilitating training to reach certification of EU GDPR Foundation & Practitioner, and am a lecturer at universities and schools (incl. the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management) in 'Digital Banking', 'Certified Payment Professionals', and the 'Future of Payment'. I received a Master’s Degree in International eBusiness Management from the Philipps University of Marburg—Germany, and a Master’s Degree in International Business Strategy from INSEEC Grande Ecole—France.
