Triple-A for Financial Services · Vienna
25 years of technology and transformation leadership in banking, payments and fintech – from the C-suite to the engine room. I take ownership of your critical initiatives and stay until the results are real.
Services
01
Consolidating systems, platforms and organisations after acquisitions – from due diligence and integration roadmap to realised synergies. Without bringing the running business to a halt.
02
Bringing digital B2C and B2B products to market – with fintech speed and banking discipline. Even while the platform underneath is being renewed.
03
Effective AI needs a solid data foundation. I build data and BI platforms and apply GenAI where it makes a difference: software delivery, customer service and knowledge management. Pragmatic, secure and with measurable value instead of endless pilots.
The triple-A principle
I take personal responsibility for the outcome – not just for the slides.
Fast, well-founded decisions. Experience shortens the path to the goal.
Compliant and operationally resilient – 99.99% availability is the benchmark.

Career
About
I have built and led technology organisations within complex international group structures – with up to 465 people at locations across Europe, North America and India, onshore and offshore. Along the way I learned that transformations rarely fail because of technology, but because of ownership, pace and clarity.
Since May 2026 I have been offering this experience as an independent advisor and interim manager – to banks, payment providers, fintechs and their investors.
12 countries · 3 continents · incl. offshore in India
