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.

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.
