Hi, I'm Karsten.

I like diving deep into complex topics and finding the hidden order that keeps things together.

In my professional career, I have been responsible for IT systems for 20 years in roles such as product owner, sales rep, and consultant in small and large organizations. Developing and handling IT systems is also a matter of organizing information.

I'm a pro at structuring, organizing, and sharing information, not only in academics but also in the business world. I've conducted market research for mobile phone manufacturers, medical devices, and software companies. The results were used for communication, sales, negotiations, and due diligence.

Sharing effective and efficient methods and developing tools is my passion. I'm working on, writing about, and consulting on gathering and handling market information efficiently, especially for entrepreneurs, side hustlers, and small teams who need to be efficient.

Can I help you, too? Let's get in contact to discuss ways to work together.

Dr. Karsten Richter

I am a CFA charterholder transitioning from corporate treasury into capital markets and investment management, bringing a unique blend of analytical rigor and operational execution to portfolio and capital allocation decisions.

My background bridges investment analysis, debt capital markets, and balance sheet strategy. I have owned end-to-end decisions on FX exposure management, debt portfolio optimization, liquidity planning, and fixed income execution. This work translated market signals into frameworks that improved forecast precision by 25% while strengthening how currency and balance sheet risks were evaluated at the enterprise level.

What differentiates my approach is decision ownership, not just analysis. I frame the problem, evaluate scenarios using derivatives and fixed income instruments, assess counterparty and liquidity risk, recommend the action, and implement the solution. Then I communicate implications clearly to CFOs and senior leadership. I work where judgment determines outcomes, not just process.

I am pursuing roles in capital markets, investment management, and portfolio management where my treasury foundation becomes an advantage: understanding how funding costs, balance sheet constraints, and liquidity dynamics influence investment decisions. This includes portfolio manager, investment manager, and capital markets roles at asset managers, insurance companies, corporate treasuries, and financial institutions.
