About Me

Hello! I'm Pascal Schillings, a Technical Product Manager with over eight years of experience optimizing workflows and driving innovation in the trading and investment lifecycle. My career has taken me across global financial hubs such as London, Chicago, and Stockholm, enriching my perspective on multi-asset portfolio management and ESG data integration.

At S&P Global, I currently lead the design and development of compliance and portfolio management systems. My work focuses on implementing portfolio management processes and enhancing order management capabilities for buy-side clients, ensuring our solutions meet stringent regulatory standards while exceeding client expectations.

Previously, at UBS Asset Management, I served as a Technical Product Manager. I developed software solutions, financial benchmarks, ETF products, and data integrations. I spearheaded the automation of workflows—from the initial trade idea in the front office to trade execution and settlement in the back office. This end-to-end automation reduced manual intervention, minimized errors, and significantly increased operational efficiency, positively impacting both internal processes and client service delivery.

My global experiences have profoundly shaped my professional and personal outlook. Extensive travels throughout Latin America allowed me to immerse myself in diverse cultures and learn Spanish, adding to my fluency in English, French, and German. These language skills enable me to navigate multicultural environments effectively, fostering strong relationships with international teams and clients.

Living and working across different continents has provided me with a unique understanding of global markets. My ability to communicate complex ideas across languages and cultures has been instrumental in driving international projects and collaborations.

Entrepreneurship is a significant part of my professional journey. I co-founded Piggy Profits, a gamified e-learning app for finance that guides users from first-time banking to professional trading. Piggy Profits combines engaging gameplay with educational content to make financial literacy accessible and enjoyable. By integrating interactive modules and real-world scenarios, the app empowers users to build confidence in managing personal finances and exploring advanced trading strategies.

In addition, I launched WebVakten, a cybersecurity platform designed to protect families from digital threats. WebVakten utilizes advanced algorithms and real-time monitoring to offer robust security solutions tailored for households, ensuring that families can navigate the digital world safely. The platform focuses on:

• Safeguarding Personal Data: Protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access and breaches.

• Monitoring Online Activity: Providing parents with tools to oversee their children's internet usage and detect potential risks.

• Educational Resources: Offering accessible guidance on cybersecurity best practices to empower families with the knowledge to stay safe online.

These ventures have honed my technical skills in programming languages like VBA, SQL, and Python, and my proficiency with tools such as Jira, Figma, Alteryx, Power BI, and Tableau. They have also reinforced my ability to identify market needs, develop strategic solutions, and bring products from concept to market successfully.

As a strategic leader, I believe in combining technical expertise with a holistic vision to drive meaningful change. My MBA from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management has strengthened my capabilities in strategic management, product development, and financial technologies. Notably, I developed a no-code algorithmic trading bot and created a data framework leveraging machine learning to enhance retail experiences—projects that reflect my commitment to integrating technology and finance innovatively.

My interest in sustainability and the concept of leapfrogging—enabling emerging markets to bypass traditional development stages through advanced technologies—informs my professional objectives. I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive sustainable growth and create solutions that positively impact both businesses and communities.

I am dedicated to fostering environments where teams collaborate effectively, innovate freely, and achieve shared goals. By aligning technological advancements with strategic objectives, I aim to deliver products and solutions that meet current market demands while anticipating future trends.
