About

Markets don’t reward noise. They reward insight, discipline, and experience. For over 30 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of global financial markets, macro research and strategy, helping private and institutional investors make sense of complex environments and act decisively when it matters most. My career spans senior leadership roles at Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, UniCredit, RBS, UBS and Credit Suisse. I specialised in currency management, quantitative modelling, research and macro advisory for clients ranging from global asset managers to hedge funds, corporates and private clients. Throughout this journey, I: → was part of the currency team at Goldman Sachs Asset Management that was ranked #1 in the FT survey (2001), → built and led high-performing sales teams across Europe, → developed state-of-the-art valuation frameworks, forecasting tools, and trading models, → created and contributed to widely followed strategy publications and hosted client calls, → acted as a lead Macro Advisor for Swiss, German, UK, and broader European institutional and private clients. My work has always been driven by a belief that data, technology, and rigorous thinking should turn information into actionable insight, not overwhelm decision-makers. This philosophy is underpinned by a PhD in Economics (Exchange Rate Forecasting with Neural Networks), the CFA designation, and continuous professional development in financial econometrics and data science. GGMA Squawk I founded and built GGMA Squawk, a real-time audio news service for traders, brokers, family offices, hedge funds, institutional investors, independent financial professionals and private individuals.
