Building a digital platform for BNP Paribas to modernize shareholder management

BNP Paribas manages complex shareholder registries for companies and investors, yet access to capital distribution and share ownership remained fragmented across legacy systems and manual processes, limiting transparency and operational efficiency.

To address this, I worked with the team to design a secure digital platform that enables companies to visualize and manage their capital structure in real time, while allowing investors to access and understand their shareholdings. This transformed a traditionally opaque and administrative process into a centralized, data-driven experience, improving communication, trust, and efficiency across all stakeholders.
