Summary
I am an Associate in Private Equity Finance at Siemens Fonds Invest, where I work on liquidity management, portfolio analytics, and decision support for a €2bn global fund-of-funds portfolio across more than 180 GPs. Alongside core fund finance responsibilities, I lead analytics-driven initiatives, including building real-time dashboards and contributing to a firm-wide private equity data and analytics transformation. Previously, I gained experience in global transaction banking at UniCredit, working on digital euro strategy and proof-of-concept development, and in digital strategy and innovation at Evonik Digital.
I combine a strong background in finance and private equity with advanced Python programming, which I use to build end-to-end analytical systems, including quantitative models, backtesting and optimization pipelines, algorithmic trading strategies, and automated decision tools. My strength lies in bridging strategy, finance, and engineering: I structure complex problems clearly, translate investment logic into robust code, and focus on scalable, execution-ready solutions rather than black-box analysis.
