Julian speaking at event

"I went independent because I couldn't be fully myself inside one company."

I'm Colombian and German. I think in models and in conversations. I work from Berlin and across two continents. I'm technically rigorous and I genuinely like people. No single employer could contain all of that — so I built something that could.

From Bogotá to Berlin. From junior analyst to CFA charterholder. Thirteen years of connecting dots that most people don't see in the same picture.
