Highly experienced derivative risk manager, with extensive experience trading large complex derivative books, combined with unrivalled experience of managing the contingent derivative risks (XVAs), amassed in the industry’s largest derivative franchise.
I have extensive experience in driving the “re-engineering” of a large derivative franchise to compute and risk-manage the new suite of contingent risks (i.e. CVA, FVA, KVA) and respond to regulatory changes affecting capital, liquidity and the requirement to clear.
As an industry expert I am active in various global forums (i.e. ISDA, FIA, and Risk Committees of various CCPs), on issues regarding the rapidly evolving risk-management and regulatory requirements for capital, liquidity, funding, margin and the clearing requirements as well as the risk of being a member on an exchange.
