Head of Controlling & Reporting at ProCredit Bank. 14+ years across controlling, market & liquidity risk, ALM, treasury and AI governance — repeatedly the person banks call when something has to be done for the first time.
Regulation arrives; someone has to turn it into a working framework before anyone else has a template. That has been my role, five times over.

Data governance with data stewards, self-service analytics, near-real-time reporting — turning data into decisions, not documents.
Most banks still make decisions from last month's PDF. I'm building the alternative: a near-real-time platform where business lines pull their own performance data, budgets carry live variance flags, and management decisions are made on today's numbers — not last month's.
It sits on solid foundations: ECB and NBS reporting discipline, data governance run by dedicated data stewards, the PCB Controlling Suite for budgeting and forecasting with automatic variance flagging, and a controlling team repositioned as a business partner rather than a report factory.
