My Expertise

Bridging strategic vision with data-driven execution.

I translate raw data into C-level strategy. By designing advanced forecasting models, implementing complex enterprise systems, and building automated KPI dashboards, I give stakeholders the precise metrics needed to make critical decisions. Whether managing a €3 billion telecom scale-up or optimizing national delivery networks, I align cross-functional teams to ensure technology investments directly generate measurable operational and financial growth.

Specialties

Banking

Played a key role in the successful implementation of SimCorp Dimension for a leading Belgian asset management firm. Specialized in architecting robust data ingestion pipelines—including seamless Bloomberg integrations—and mapping complex financial derivatives, such as Interest Rate Swaps (IRS) and Cross-Currency Swaps (CCS). Focused on bridging the gap between deep system configuration and financial data integrity to optimize portfolio management.

Telecommunications

Navigated a major telecom provider through its critical startup-to-scale-up phase, managing initiatives within a €3 billion budget scope. Leveraged a deep understanding of Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) architecture to lead strategic business planning, connecting operational roll-out logistics with financial forecasting. Built the data infrastructure required to monitor KPI performance and successfully managed end-to-end POP placements during complex supply chain disruptions to secure mass fiber network deployments.
