INTERVIEW
1. How did your treasury journey start?
My treasury journey started about 10 years ago as a credit risk manager at RHI AG, now RHI Magnesita. After about 3 years of working in this position, I got the chance to take over the Treasury team as team leader.
2. What do you like about working in Treasury?
It’s a people’s business. Ensuring liquidity and therefore laying the foundation for the operative business of the corporate while having always a close relationship with your capital partner end strengthening their trust in the corporate feels like being one of the most important and highly valued links in the business.
3. What is your Treasury Expertise and what expertise gives you a boost of energy?
I started my career in the group treasury of a listed company. Stage by stage I developed myself into a full-scale treasury and commercial officer working for a bigger SME company right now. My focus is on small to medium sizes companies with a high need for commercial structuring and the need to set up treasury management from scratch. To build, entertain and lead by example is energizing myself to perform.
4. What has been the best experience in your treasury career until today?
Enabling business with partly sanctioned customers and countries.
5. What has been your biggest challenge in treasury?
Maintaining the tension and excitement after more than 10 years in corporate treasury.
6. What’s the most important lesson that you’ve learned as a treasurer?
Do not trust a soft commitment.
7. How have you seen the role of Corporate Treasury evolve over the years?
From my understanding, the corporate treasury is a business enabler. Especially when driving business internationally the corporate treasury is able to pilot business relationships to success. Based on that understanding Corporate Treasury is always seeking to find better instruments and the appropriate solution to close a deal.
8. What developments do you expect in corporate treasury in the near and further future?
I expect more and more solutions and instruments acting on the blockchain. Right now the industry is too much focusing on the blockchain as an enabler for cryptocurrency. Using the blockchain in international business will also solve the impossible trilemma as it makes business cheaper, adding quality and reducing costs for all parties.
