As an Associate Partner at McKinsey & Company, I lead the EMEIA Data and Analytics Center of Excellence, where I advise clients on digital transformations, data, advanced analytics, and risk for financial institutions and corporates. With over 20 years of experience in management consulting and a strong background in theoretical physics, I bring a unique perspective and a deep understanding of complex and dynamic systems and problems.I leverage my expertise in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data to enable customized strategies and solutions that drive impact and value for my clients. I have applied AI for data quality and model optimization in various domains, such as credit, market, AML, KYC, and business. I have also developed and validated quantitative models for regulatory capital, P&L, Basel, IFRS, and TRIM. Additionally, I have designed and implement applications of generative AI and automation in finance. Prior to joining McKinsey, I founded and headed the Laboratory for Innovation, Research & Development on quantitative advisory for financial services in Central Europe and UK at EY. There, I designed and ran learning and training programs in quantitative finance, machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI. I also have a passion for theoretical physics, quantum gravity, and string theory, and have published multiple papers on these topics.
