CuraçaoWhat I'm looking for
I am a creative and analytical banking consultant with a proven track record of designing and implementing financial and payment systems. I lead complex projects across SWIFT application deployments and ISO 20022 message implementations, guiding clients from training and testing through delivery while ensuring the integrity of XML messages.
I also build data-driven reporting and regulatory compliance capabilities, including analytical models in Tableau and compliance reports using transactional data. Beyond reporting, I drive digital transformation—such as leading a self-service kiosk initiative—and support business growth through market expansion gap analysis and client presentations, while facilitating knowledge sessions on Blockchain and emerging technologies.
