Moustapha - Chef de projet CASH MANAGEMENT

Expérience professionnelle

HISTORY

PROJECT MANAGER
Over 15 years of experience have helped me to develop a strong knowledge of financial services, financial instruments, and working methodology.
I worked in Investment Banking from FO to BO, managing risks, and in the fund industry, being employed in the OTC department, where I managed pricing delivery, client relationship, valuation breaches & NAV errors impacts.
I have contributed to the success of several projects either as project manager (implementation of pricing models, automation of challenging prices, risk monitoring), business analyst (implementation of operation reconciliation , analysis of Funds risk matrix), or tester (automation of trade processing, position and cash derivatives product reconciliation).
My main business skills acquired in the past years covered several areas such as Fund Industry, NAV Production, Listed Derivatives, OTC Derivatives, Pricing, Cash and Securities Management Reconciliation, Collateral, Securities Lending / Borrowing & Repo, EMIR Reporting, Trade Confirmation, DTCC, and IT systems.
