A New Start

Just over a week ago I started a new job as a contractor with a not so well known global bank.  I have joined a team of 5 who are managing a project to oversee the strengthening of Client Asset Protection in the Belgian market.  In essence this is strengthening the safeguards and controls in place following the banking crisis of 2008 and subsequent scandals that have emerged.

Had someone said to me that at the beginning of 2015 you would be working in Brussels and have set up your own company I would have said the odds were definitely not in favour.  I had viewed my lack of in depth language skills as a significant disadvantage and therefore set my sights on moving to London where I thought I could fit in better.  That was until I was presented with this opportunity in late January.
