About

Former investment banker turned operator. I’ve taken a deep-dive in Fintech at Trade Republic (Sequoia/Accel backed) and helped scale the startup into a pan-European leader in wealth and banking services with >€100bn in AuM and 10M+ customers. I’ve now (re)joined JPMorganChase to double down on its continental europe retail banking ambitions. French-born, Italian-raised, British-educated and currently based in Germany. I'm quadrilingual and always open to discuss openings within the team, trends in (fin)tech or swimming drills ت
