Market Risk Assistant Manager
Alp Özkan is an Assistant Manager at QNB Türkiye’s Market Risk Management Department in Istanbul, responsible for monitoring trading and banking book exposures with a focus on interest rate, FX, and derivative risk analysis, VaR modelling, and hedging strategies.
He plays a key role in risk reporting automation, stress testing, and model validation in alignment with Basel IV and BRSA regulatory frameworks. His expertise spans market risk analytics, ICAAP reporting, and scenario-based capital planning, helping to strengthen QNB’s risk infrastructure and decision-making processes.
Before joining QNB Türkiye, Alp worked at Anadolu Sigorta in Fund Management and Investor Relations, managing relations with financial institutions and preparing consolidated portfolio reports. He also gained experience at Zurich Insurance in global corporate risk coordination and reinsurance operations, and earlier in Seba İnşaat as a civil engineer.
Alp combines analytical precision with strategic insight into market and financial risk management, bridging technical modelling with practical treasury operations.
Why, in periods of high FX volatility, selecting a hedging instrument is not enough—and how to build a structured FX-risk management system. Which metrics to use for daily monitoring, how to match instruments to specific risk types and liquidity constraints, and what management lessons can be drawn from hedging failures at major banks.
