When did you join Temenos? Tell us about your role.
I joined Temenos in 1987, back in the days of EBS (Electronic Banking Systems). This was the time when our T24 Banking system development started.
In order to break down the development into sizeable tasks, a number of development teams were created, with my role being assigned to Securities Portfolio Management stream. This remains, even today, my favourite module within Expert Services.
