Financial products are commodities. Context is everything.

After 10+ years inside fintech infrastructure companies like figo and Weavr, I realized something: understanding and launching fintech products is complex.

Vendor selection, go-to-market strategy, and regulatory requirements must all align perfectly.

Which providers fit your use case?

How do you embed your financial product so seamlessly that it creates a competitive advantage?

What compliance requirements apply?

How do you avoid costly mistakes?

That's where I come in.

My Story

I was employee #1 at figo (Germany's first Open Banking provider), where I led fintech sales and initiated the Open Banking Hackathon series, Bankathon.

Later, as employee #7 at Weavr, I closed some of their largest embedded banking deals and became the first Head of Banking.

Here's what I learned: Embedding financial services can be a game-changer for almost any company. But many of them lack the practical know-how to execute it effectively.

So I left the provider side to help companies like yours. No single solution to push.

Just honest guidance from someone who's been inside the machine.

How I Help

As a Fractional Embedded Finance Expert, I support my clients through both short-term projects and long-term partnerships. What matters most is that I don’t just advise; I become part of my clients' teams to get things done.

Typical activities:

Recent projects: BaaS selection for an employee benefit provider, IBAN provider evaluation for a vertical SaaS company, and competitive research for a lending infrastructure provider.
