PROFESSIONAL GOAL
Financial health of a client today is more than ever a combination of many different factors having impact on client’s business. It goes in many different directions, from understanding of main financial drivers of sustainable and successful business, taking benefits from synergy of different financial products and services available in one banking group to cross-border expansion of client’s business using the opportunities and managing the risk of such business internationalization, whether it is case of new business, acquisition, or trade / supply chain finance.
Having more than 20 years of relevant professional background, my professional goal is to grow and further develop myself in this area of business, seeking for new options to enhance financial health perspectives of a client, combining innovative digital solutions with competent professional advisory service.
