Werkervaring
- AvarraiFounderDIGITAAL BUREAU & IT-CONSULTANCYjuli 2025 - Vandaag (11 maanden)London, Verenigd KoninkrijkAvarrai exists because fixed income trading still relies on fragmented data, manual judgement and too little usable pre-trade intelligence. Too much sits across disconnected screens and workflows, forcing traders to interpret signals manually in the moment and making decisions harder to explain afterwards.I’m building Blackstream, an intelligence layer for institutional fixed income that works alongside existing OMS/EMS workflows. It brings scenario-aware liquidity and dealer insight into the pre-trade moment, helping desks make better, more explainable decisions.As founder, I lead product strategy, platform architecture, hands-on build and go-to-market. I’m currently working with design partners across the buy-side, venues, and the broader trading technology ecosystem.
- FINOV8FounderCONSULTANCY & AUDITINGjanuari 2024 - Vandaag (2 jaren en 5 maanden)London, Verenigd KoninkrijkThrough FINOV8, I help firms close the gap between strategy and execution reality. Too many transformation programmes lose traction when they drift too far from workflows, data, controls, resilience and delivery.I advise banks, asset managers, market infrastructure firms, fintechs and investors on technology, workflows, product strategy, data platforms, operational resilience and AI-enabled change, including AI governance and readiness. The focus is practical clear decisions, measurable outcomes and change that works in production, not just on slides.
- THETAFounder & CEODIGITAAL BUREAU & IT-CONSULTANCYoktober 2019 - november 2023 (4 jaren en 2 maanden)City of London, London, UKI founded and led THETA where I conceived and built Apollo, a fixed income-first trader cockpit that aggregated liquidity and enabled traders to execute strategies and models directly across multiple channels. It went beyond order staging and focused on decision support and execution control at the point of action, ahead of where the market was heading.I owned the end-to-end agenda across product, architecture, delivery and go-to-market, secured alliances with Microsoft Azure, MarketAxess and S&P Global, led fundraising and commercial strategy, and participated in Microsoft’s AI accelerator programme.Apollo anticipated the move towards execution intelligence and workflow-native fixed income trading before the market had the language for it.
