Switzerland
I am a commodity markets professional with four years of experience spanning market risk management, physical gas trading, and fundamental analysis across European energy markets. My career began in OTC petrochemicals in Rotterdam, where I built my foundation in P&L reporting, VaR modelling, and trade reconciliation across Benzene, Styrene, and Cyclohexane books. I then moved to Switzerland, where I progressed from derivatives risk reporting across gas, power, and oil books to managing a short-term physical gas portfolio. Focussed on Norwegian flows into EU hubs on a day-ahead and within-day basis, managing a French storage facility, and conducting regular fundamental analysis covering pipeline flows, LNG dynamics, hub spreads, and production field outage impacts. What drives me professionally is the intersection of markets, fundamentals, and risk. I find the most satisfaction in understanding why prices move, whether that is a cold snap tightening the Northwest European gas balance, an LNG cargo diverting away from Europe, or a Norwegian field going into unplanned maintenance, and translating that into clear, actionable insight. I am currently based in Switzerland and open to opportunities across commodity trading, market risk, and fundamental analysis roles in both Switzerland and the Netherlands. I am also actively developing my quantitative capabilities, including VaR modeling in Python, to complement my practical market experience. Languages: Dutch (native), English (C2), German (B2)

I was hired as an intern to assist the Dutch sales managers in expanding their business in the Benelux area. Besides the Dutch sales managers, I would also help the UK team wherever I could, embracing every challenge and responsibility I was given along the way. By the end of my 6-month internship, I was the main support for all the EMEA-region representatives outside of the UK. I learned a great deal of professionalism and I got firsthand experience working in one of the fastest-growing tech companies in the UK.
