Bio
Fergus Swan
Geraldine worked for me on 2 separate occasions. She is a very experienced IT and finance professional. This combination of skills were particularly valuable on the Basel 2 Programme where Geraldine played a key role in testing and reconciling complex calculations, developed local databases in the process and enabled skills transfer to other colleagues as part of handover processes. She is a self-starter, well motivated to achieve project goals and was a vital resource on the team on both occasions.
