Trusted Advisor – Capital Markets, Operational Excellence & Digital Transformation

Executive Summary

With over 25 years of experience across various trading desks and management roles in investment banking, I combine deep capital markets expertise with strategic consulting capability. As a trusted advisor, I support financial institutions in navigating regulatory challenges and digital transformation.

Previously, I served as Principal Director and Associate Partner at Accenture and Infosys Consulting, and founded Schablitzki Management Consulting to share my hands-on expertise in capital markets regulation, operational excellence and data & AI. I also bring extensive practical experience in the valuation and analysis of complex financial products – from interest rate swaps and FX options through structured products to crypto assets.
