About
My Journey
I'm a Business Analyst and Product Owner with extensive experience across retail, SME, and corporate banking. My focus is digital transformation, product delivery, and API-based fintech integrations - the kind of work where a vague business ask has to become a precise, testable requirement before anything gets built.
How I work. I start with the problem and the stakeholders, map the process as it really is, and only then write functional requirements and user stories with acceptance criteria the team can verify. I keep the backlog refined and the scope honest, manage dependencies across business, IT, compliance, back office, and external partners, and stay involved through UAT and after launch to see whether we actually solved the problem.
I'm based in Amsterdam and eligible to work in the Netherlands and the EU without employer sponsorship. I completed a Business Analysis and Agile traineeship at Motopp in the Netherlands and a Business and Finance course at VU Amsterdam.
