About me

I'm a regulatory compliance specialist based in Frankfurt, working with EU fintechs, crypto-asset service providers, and ICT vendors on DORA, MiCA, and AI Governance.
WHAT I DO

Two situations bring most of my clients to me. The first is reactive: a regulator finding, an audit flag, or a customer questionnaire has forced their hand, and they need senior expertise fast. The second is structural: they've concluded that full-time compliance leadership doesn't make sense at their scale, and they want a fractional compliance lead who can stand in as their named expert without the headcount cost. I work with both.
