In my role at BearingPoint, I focus on developing and expanding long-term client relationships within the financial services industry, with a strong emphasis on promotional banks and their ecosystem. 

I am dedicated to supporting promotional banks in achieving their strategic objectives with reliability, trust, and long-standing commitment. As a trusted advisor, I focus on understanding the banks’ priorities and delivering measurable value, whether by driving transformation initiatives, enabling critical platforms, or scaling proven solutions in a complex environment. This includes supporting key initiatives that strengthen the ability of promotional banks to deliver effectively on their public development mandate. 

In working with promotional banks, I place strong emphasis on high-quality execution and effective collaboration. My approach is defined by responsiveness, flexibility, and a clear focus on tangible outcomes, ensuring that the right expertise is applied at the right time to create lasting impact. 

Growing up between two distinct professional worlds - my mother a medical doctor and my father a banker - I was early exposed to contrasting perspectives that shaped my thinking. While this initially left me weighing different paths, I ultimately chose to explore the financial world more deeply, pursuing a broad range of internships across various banking divisions and building a solid foundation within the industry.

Alongside my early career steps, golf was not only a passion but also my profession for many years. During that time, I developed capabilities that continue to define my consulting approach today: building trust, listening attentively, and developing a strong instinct for timing and a strong sense for building meaningful client relationships.

By coincidence, I found my way into consulting - a decision that shaped my professional path. For more than 20 years, I have been with BearingPoint, where I continue to grow professionally and remain deeply committed to our teams, our work, and our clients.
