About me

Why Companies Work With Me

Over the last 14 years I have repeatedly seen organizations build critical business processes in Excel. The spreadsheet itself is rarely the problem. The challenge begins when more people, departments, approvals, and compliance requirements depend on it. My focus is helping organizations transform these processes into maintainable business applications that improve transparency, consistency, and operational control.

Real Examples of Excel Modernization

Every business process is different. But the challenges are often the same: Manual work, data inconsistencies, missing transparency, compliance requirements, increasing maintenance effort. Here are examples of how organizations replaced spreadsheet-based processes with maintainable business applications.

Slide 1
Case Study 1: Commodity Trading
From Excel Models to Automated Risk Reporting

Centralizing pricing calculations across multiple desks eliminated inconsistencies and automated risk reporting.

The Challenge
Multiple trading desks maintained independent Excel models. Calculations were manual, dependent on sequence and difficult to keep consistent

The Solution
A centralized web application replaced individual spreadsheet solutions.

A dependency engine automatically calculated pricing curves in the correct order and provided standardized results to Risk Management.

The Result
Consistent pricing curves, automated workflows, and faster delivery of risk-critical data.
