About

I build the operating backbone behind regulated wealth structures. My core financial experience was built from January 2016 to September 2024 inside two Geneva-based multi-family offices, where I progressed from analyst and client relationship functions to senior COO-level responsibilities. Across that period, I worked with UHNW families, cross-border structures and institutional-grade financial operations, with exposure to: › 20+ UHNW families › €300M+ assets under management › €150M+ real estate transactions › €100M+ structured debt financing › €10M+ private equity and M&A exposure My work sits at the intersection of operations, compliance, finance and execution: AML/CFT, risk controls, governance, treasury, reporting, banking coordination, client operations and process architecture. I started my career at Société Générale Private Banking in Monaco during the 2008 financial crisis, which shaped my understanding of regulated environments, discretion and high-stakes client service. I am currently focused on selected COO, CFO, CCO and equivalent senior opportunities within multi-family offices, wealth management, asset management, private banking, fintech and regulated digital finance. I am also interested in the practical use of AI and digital transformation inside regulated financial institutions, especially where technology can improve control, efficiency, compliance and decision-making.
