Born in Essen in 1974 and raised in the Ruhr area during the 1980s, Matthias found his way into banking more by chance than by design.

He spent many years working as a capital markets trader before transitioning to Treasury in 2009. Since 2024, he has been working independently as an interim manager.

A positive working environment is important to him. In his free time, Matthias finds balance in nature, one of the reasons he has lived in the countryside for over a decade.

He is passionate about cars, enjoys traveling (especially to Scandinavia and other Nordic countries), and is both communicative and naturally introverted.

Living and working according to his values is important to Matthias. He prefers to be seen as a whole person rather than defined by titles or possessions – for him, true success lies in the freedom he creates for himself.

He appreciates people who stay grounded and avoid placing their egos on a pedestal, and he consistently strives to remain authentic.
