I am currently on a sabbatical to enhance my professional skills. With nearly 20 years of experience in financial institutions, I am a seasoned risk leader. In my most recent role at Macquarie Group, I oversaw the risk appetite and risk management frameworks for the EMEA region. My mission was to ensure Macquarie's risk governance was robust, effective, and compliant with the highest standards. My strong background in internal audit, compliance, and risk spans various industry segments, from investment banking to asset management. My core competencies include identifying and mitigating major risks such as operational, market, credit, liquidity, and structural risks. Additionally, I manage relationships with C-suite executives and regulators, including the JST, Bank of Italy, and ACPR. I hold a BS in Economics with honors and completed a year of quantitative finance studies at Erasmus University Rotterdam. I am fluent in English, French, and Italian. During my sabbatical, I obtained a Master's course for CFOs to deepen my knowledge in the finance sector and strengthen my expertise in budgeting, business planning and financial controls. Additionally, I assist startups with fundraising and support management teams on all corporate governance-related matters.
