Our Team

When I was growing up in East Germany, finance meant working at a bank counter. Having studied electrical engineering, I took the opportunity to work in the field of air missile defense in the USA for 4 years, there I learnt the broad aspects of “Finance” through the wide media coverage on the subject …. and I got hooked.

Golf took a central stage in my life until I started working in private equity in 2009. Competing at the highest amateur level with the Belgian national and university teams taught me discipline and perseverance. Born in Antwerp, I moved to the U.S. for my undergraduate degree in Finance. Since 2009 I have been living in Switzerland, which I am happy to call home.

Born in Bilbao, Spain, I’ve always been driven to step out of my comfort zone. With a degree in International Business Administration from Spain and France, I gained global experience through internships in Paris, Berlin, and New York. My career in M&A at BBVA, Acron Beka, and GBS Finance gave me strong skills which I now apply at Convero in Switzerland.

My desire is to connect people. I am a determined, reliable and a communicative team player who’s proven that even the serious financial industry can be fun to work in. I have developed many close relationships in the private equity industry. Understanding people’s needs and supporting them in what they do, there are no limitations for me.

Success in both athletics and finance requires passion, consistency, precision, and hard work. With no shortcuts to long-term success, my curiosity and drive for continuous improvement have always guided me. Originally from Udine, Italy, I learned to balance academic studies with rigorous training, building resilience and discipline that shape my approach today.
