Stefan holds the position of Vice President of Sales, Fixed Income, and ESG at the Singapore branch of Eurex, the world's largest derivatives exchange.

He is extremely passionate about sustainability and the need for a rapid transition to a low- carbon, circular economy. Stefan is a regular speaker and moderator at industry events. He believes that risks and opportunities from climate change and the coming transition are still being vastly underestimated by corporates and the financial sector - and that science-driven Big Data will be key to making sustainability tangible for financial institutions.

Stefan is an experienced business development professional, focusing on Asia-Pacific markets. After more than 18 years working for international derivatives markets, he was successfully pivoted into corporate sustainability, specialising in Sustainable Finance. He has an entrepreneurial track record, running his own consultancy company from 1993 until 2007 and again from 2016 to 2021.

Prior to his current role, he was a director at Paia Consulting, Singapore's longest-standing sustainability specializing. He focused on sustainable finance and developing new collaborative solutions for financing the transition to a low-, resilient, and sustainable global economy. His clients at Paia and later at his own consultancy, The Warren Pte Ltd, were predominantly financial institutions and listed companies, whom he advised on integrating sustainability into their business and investment strategies.

Apart from his work in sustainability, Stefan has significant experience in expanding the business of world-leading futures exchanges in Asia across all major asset classes. Stefan has held senior-level positions at Eurex, NYSE Liffe, and ICE Futures Singapore.

As a member of an advisory group for the UN Sustainable Stock Exchanges Initiative, he contributed to a recent white paper on Derivatives Exchanges.
