Expertise and Experience

Consulting with Insight and Practical Relevance.

With over eight years of experience in senior positions within the FinTech industry, I have taken full P&L responsibility for a debit card program, overseeing its profitability and growth. I have led diverse teams across marketing, BI, customer service, and UI/UX, fostering collaboration and innovation. Specialising in B2C growth, I possess a strong understanding of the regulatory landscape for e-money institutions, ensuring compliance and strategic alignment. After nearly 10 years in FinTech, I decided to establish my own consultancy to undertake a wider range of projects. I am excited about the opportunity to develop innovative solutions and work collaboratively with my clients to achieve success.
