The Hague, South Holland, Netherlands
I am a Senior Treasury Executive at Deutsche Bank, with 26 years in Global Transaction Banking and most of that tenure on the Netherlands franchise. My work sits at CFO and group treasurer level, on the structural foundations of corporate treasury — liquidity architecture, payments infrastructure, and the cash management frameworks that underpin sustainable corporate performance. Across all of those years, I've approached the role with an entrepreneurial mindset — treating each client relationship as a business to be built, not a portfolio to be managed. That same instinct is what eventually led me to found Global Treasury Diagnostic (GTD). The reason is a pattern I kept seeing from the inside: European mid-market and PE-backed corporates sit in a structural blind spot. Too small for Big Four diagnostic engagements. Consequential treasury decisions are routinely made without a genuinely independent, board-ready view of where the function actually stands. GTD is the answer to that gap. Europe's first fully independent treasury maturity assessment — no bank, no vendor, no software behind it. Seven domains, 107 criteria, findings quantified in euros, delivered on a ten-business-day fixed-fee model. Since launch, GTD has been independently recognised by Google as the #1 ranked Specialized Advisory in independent treasury diagnostics — globally, without advertising, without agency support. It operates as an approved outside business interest alongside my Deutsche Bank role, with information barriers built into the platform architecture itself. Independence here is not a marketing claim — it is enforced by design. Clarity before change.
