Beschreibung

I am a Senior Business Analyst with over 17+ years of experience delivering impactful solutions for global banks and fintech firms. I specialize in Payments Processing, Core Banking, regulatory compliance, and Anti-Financial Crime (AFC).

My background includes engagements with institutions such as Deutsche Bank, Clearstream, and Commonwealth Bank of Australia. I bring strong functional knowledge across SWIFT messaging (ISO 20022/15022), TARGET2, sanctions screening, and cash management systems. I excel at requirements engineering—crafting clear, structured business requirements, process flows, and user stories that align cross-functional teams and drive results.

With hands-on experience using tools like Jama and Jira, I create Business Requirements Documents (BRDs), user stories, and traceability matrices to support agile delivery models. My work often spans complex environments that require collaboration between business, operations, testing, and IT stakeholders—ensuring solutions are not just designed well, but deployed effectively.

If you're in banking or fintech and looking for someone who understands the business inside out, speaks the language of delivery teams, and brings a deep understanding of transaction lifecycles and regulatory demands, let's connect.
