I am a seasoned professional with extensive experience in strategic project leadership across the banking, financial services, and FinTech industries. As a Partner at Adan Corporate, I have spearheaded numerous projects, ensuring seamless execution from inception to delivery.

My career also includes advisory and consultancy roles at Barclays Corporate & Investment Bank, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, and Moneycorp, focusing on data, modelling, strategic cash management, finance, FX, payments, treasury liquidity risk management, strategy, and sustainability.
