Business Lead - Digital Platform for Customer Interactions, SWIFT

I hold a Master’s in Computer Sciences from the University of Namur (1999) and have cultivated a diverse and dynamic career across various pivotal roles in the tech industry. My journey began at Xpectis, Luxembourg, where I rapidly advanced from a Junior Software Engineer to the Project Delivery Manager, overseeing the FundSettle development team for Euroclear over eight years.

In 2007, I transitioned to Nomura Bank (Luxembourg S.A.) as a Senior Project Manager, spearheading a strategic shift in their accounting module to SimCorp Dimension and reshaping their operational model. This role had me defining a long-term IT Systems Strategy, preparing the bank for future challenges.

Returning to Belgium in 2010, I joined Euroclear’s Corporate Technology division as an IT Infrastructure Project Manager, coordinating specialized technical teams. By the end of 2011, I had moved to the Risk Management division as an IT Risk Manager, where I developed a comprehensive risk management framework focusing on SaaS, outsourcing, strategic projects and packaged solutions.

In 2014, I re-engaged with IT to lead the Cyber Security Program for Euroclear Group, a role I later took up at Swift in 2016, driving significant security investments.

In 2020, I pivoted back to software development as a Product Owner, where I played a crucial role in designing and launching Swift’s Transaction Manager platform, enhancing cross-border payment processes.

Most recently, in September 2022, I stepped into the role of Business Lead for the Digital Platforms Tribe, overseeing Product Owners and crafting the Platform Business Strategy for enhancing customer interactions.

Throughout my career, I’ve continuously leveraged my technical expertise and strategic insight to drive innovation and operational excellence across global platforms.
