Focus
Most of my work has one shape: take complex material — mandates, markets, models — and make it clear enough for someone to decide and act.
- Client coverage

- Analysis & reporting
- Structured analysis and decision-ready materials — investment-committee preparation, investor reporting, KPI reconciliation, and empirical research with real-world data.
- Tools
- Excel (advanced, including automation), Python for analytics and web scraping (pandas, Playwright), SAP, basic SQL.
- Languages
- German (native), English (professional, IELTS Academic 8.0), Spanish (B1), Chinese and Japanese (basic, actively learning).
Lived and studied in Germany, Vietnam, and China; worked with clients and teams across Europe and Asia; travelled in 60+ countries.
