I own and defend the technology strategies for the investment bank. My primary focus is on empowering engineers to make the best decisions while protecting and directing the enterprise to achieve its strategic aims.

This is a complex program that impacts existing brownfield as well as greenfield applications. I am running the application ecosystem work stream that sets the directs for applications to move forward, leveraging modern technologies such as docker, swarm, kubernetes .… This program is a major change to the way Credit Suisse operates, with projected saves of over $10om annually, through increased utilisation and efficiency.I ran a technical enablement project to enable an inventory rationalisation program, this program reduced allocated costs to the investment bank by $192m per year.Prior projects included, software deployment automation (with $10m efficiency save), HTML security analysis, Linux platform uplift and more.I provides commercial aware product ownership and guidance across a variety of contracts, as an example, I managed the exit from Coherence to an open source alternative with multi-million license cost saving.As the Head of the Development ‘job family’ for EMEA, I have direct control over a CHF 100k training budget.
