CARLOS ERCHUCK

Over the course of a 35-year professional career, I have worked across finance, engineering, and risk management roles in Europe, the United States, and Asia. These experiences have provided direct exposure to complex economic, financial, and operational systems across both industrial and banking environments.

​

I began my career in operations research within the energy sector, working on optimisation models for refining and supply chain systems, as well as risk management strategies related to commodity exposure. This provided early experience in the interaction between physical production systems and financial risk structures.

​

I subsequently moved into banking, where my work focused on quantitative analysis, derivatives model validation, and treasury-related risk systems across multiple asset classes, including currencies and commodities. This period included international assignments in London, New York, and San Francisco.

​

My later roles included senior positions in credit and risk management within European and Asian banking institutions, where responsibilities extended to credit policy design, portfolio risk analysis, and advisory work with senior decision-makers across multiple jurisdictions.

​

My final executive role was in enterprise risk management, focusing on market, credit, and operational risk modelling, regulatory interaction, and model validation within a large European banking group.

​

Alongside professional practice, I have engaged in advanced academic work in engineering, economics, applied mathematics, and statistical modelling, with particular emphasis on systems analysis and optimisation methods.

​

This combination of practical experience across financial institutions and analytical training in quantitative disciplines forms the basis of the perspectives presented in this blog, with a focus on structured, systems-oriented analysis of economic and financial phenomena.
