About

After leaving the mathematical department at the KULeuven University I specialized myself fir 5 years in credit risk models (PD,EAD,LGD,portfolio model) at KBC Bank NV, this in the context of the Basel II project. Currently I take part in the Solvency II project at Euler Hermes, being responsible for the methodological part of the credit insurance risk model. The perfect job for me is the one with some pioneer work/ongoing development where my strong analytic thinking can give some added value. I really enjoy team work. Specialties: Current specialties: Statistics / mathematics, credit risk modelling / Basel II & Solvency II, SAS/Matlab programming, ...
