Interview
"After my master’s I started working for a consulting company on the topic of financial regulation and supervision specializing in providing IT solutions for the regulatory reporting process. It is my job to help banks cope with the challenges they have to face given the ever growing supervisory and regulatory processes and requirements they have to fulfill. On the one hand, my job is related to the general macroeconomic topic of supervision, while on the other hand I am a link in the actual regulatory reporting chain from banks to the supervisors - this is exactly the "hands on" component I wanted to have in my first job."
