With my studies in Management Information Systems and several years of working experience in banking IT, I had the opportunity to gain a foothold in the Avaloq field. It has now been more than 10 years since I acquired the Avaloq certification. Since then, I have been able to support various banks with interesting projects as a business analysts, parameterists or project manager. The focus is on the processing of securities, MiFID regulations and currently on the Avaloq Front Platform (AFP), with an emphasis on WebBanking.

After the traditional banking apprenticeship, I studied at AZEK to become a banking expert and financial analyst. After many years of working in management and portfolio management, during which I graduated as a fund officer, I joined the consulting industry in 2008 and have been supporting various Avaloq projects in technical and professional aspects, particularly in the areas of fund modules, fund accounting, portfolio management and ex custody.

During my studies in business informatics at the University of Zurich, I worked in various IT service companies and banks and was able to gain initial experience in the IT project business. After graduating with a Master of Science in Computer Science (UZH), I joined an international CRM project at a chemical company as sub-project manager. After its successful completion, I returned to the financial world as an IT auditor (CISA) and consultant with one of the big four auditing companies, which allowed me to deepen my knowledge in the financial sector. The following 10 years I was and still am working as an Avaloq consultant with focus on taxes, corporate actions, funds and interfaces – as project manager, developer and business analyst. In addition, I engage in various emerging technology topics.

My career in the financial sector began with an apprenticeship as a banker, followed by a permanent position as a financial controller at UBS AG. After completing my degree in business administration (majoring in banking & finance), I continued my career at Avaloq and was able to combine my interest in IT with the financial sector. As a business analyst, I was responsible for the modules fund administration and customer accounting, and I was able to be part of two innovation projects. After an internal change to Avaloq Digital Suite as pre-sales manager, I supported various sales projects.

The fundamentals of my banking knowledge were formed during my apprenticeship at Raiffeisen and strengthened in my position as customer advisor in the following years.

MSc UZH in Informatik

After my basic technical education, I gained my first IT experience in the aviation industry. In the following 10 years, I was able to deepen my IT knowledge in various functions, most recently as a Project Engineer. I especially found the interface function between business and IT exciting and therefore decided to study Business Informatics at the University of Zurich. After successful completion (MSc) I changed into IT consulting business and completed the Avaloq certification. Today, I support financial institutions in IT projects with a particular focus on Avaloq Front Platform (AFP), with the aim of bringing the two worlds mentioned a little closer together.

Fabian Schmid | Relutions AG

Manager
BSc Applied Computer Sciences

Already during my studies of business informatics at Furtwangen University in Germany, I found interest in IT projects. Through my involvement in student consulting team, I was able to gain my first insights into the working world. I started my first job as a consultant and project manager at a small software company in Zurich, developing a niche tool for the fund industry. My path then led me to the Avaloq world in 2010. Since then I have been active in the areas of portfolio management, CRM, RM-Workplace and since 2015 in the AFP area. I have accompanied several ACP implementations and also successfully participated in the introduction of Avaloq e-banking. I enjoy new projects the most, because the challenges of the project business always makes the work exciting and varied. That’s also how I see the tasks in projects: From parameterization to project management, I’m open to anything.

I began my career as a software developer while pursuing my Bachelor’s degree with a concentration in Computer Information Systems at the University of Miami in Florida. After working for over 10 years in software development in the areas of B2C, B2B, market data & IT security, I wanted to get more in-depth exposure to clients in IT consulting. In this context, I completed my Master’s degree (MSc) in Strategic Management at HWZ. In 2017, I started at Avaloq as a Senior Technical Consultant in the Digital Transformation Team. Further on, I was responsible as Principal Technical Consultant and most recently as Architect in the New Products Implementation Team at Avaloq. During my time at Avaloq I had the opportunity to successfully execute and lead numerous customer projects and initial implementations in the areas of FWP, CLM, APIs & Web Banking in Switzerland, Europe and Asia.
