Responsible for
systems that cannot
afford to fail.
I serve as Executive Director and Head of Systems Engineering at SIX Swiss Exchange, where I hold accountability for the technology infrastructure that underlies market operations. This includes trading system architecture, real-time market surveillance, clearing and post-trade processing, and the operational resilience framework the exchange operates under.
The environments I work in are characterized by zero failure tolerance, significant regulatory obligation, and the kind of systemic consequence where engineering decisions become matters of market integrity. I operate at the intersection of institutional governance, regulatory compliance, and technical leadership.
My perspective on technology leadership is shaped by operating in environments where the consequences of system failure are institutional, regulatory, and in some cases systemic. This tends to produce a different relationship to risk, architecture, and organizational design than leadership experience accumulated in less constrained environments.
I am particularly focused on how AI adoption should be sequenced inside regulated financial institutions, on the organizational conditions that allow critical infrastructure engineering teams to function effectively, and on the governance frameworks that will define how markets relate to technology over the next decade.
I am available for advisory engagement, speaking, and peer conversation on AI governance in regulated environments, critical infrastructure architecture, and technology leadership at institutional scale.
