• ALM & Treasury: Liquidity management and Basel III solutions During the crisis, at the end of 2008, Fortis decided to spend an important budget to develop two applications to manage and monitor their liquidity (Treasury) as well as their liquidity risk. On one hand, we built an on-line web-based treasury application. This tool was multi-currency and multi-branch compliant, based on Front- and Back-Office profiles.

In this context, I mainly managed the following tasks: - Planning, budget and risks - Functional architecture, analysis and use cases creation - Harmony methodology integration
