Stefan Afendoulis’s Experience

Core Banking Implementation Technical Project Manager - Société Générale China

Asymptotix

(Privately Held; Computer Software industry)

February 2009 — Present (6 months)

Stefan engaged with Societe General China in a complex banking project launching Retail, Wealth Management and Corporate banking across China.

The Project included: implementation of a new core banking system, data warehouse, Bank-wide/Group-wide consolidated Financial Reporting, complex interfaces, and management and problem resolution for numerous third-party providers. Stefan leveraged his technical and managerial expertise to define, design and execute strategies to facilitate key aspects of the project moving including data migration, integration, data warehouse as well as infrastructure and application management.

In a few weeks Stefan had defined: scope, detailed schedules with associated issues & risks. Employing a philosophy of empowering/knowledge transfer of the permanent team members Stefan contributed greatly to the development of local Chinese new-hires as well as the less experienced amongst the existing project team.

As a member of the senior management team Stefan was able to put in place the means to accurately and transparently project work ahead, state actual progress and address issues & risks across the entire programme of work- in real-time.
