Enrico Giacoletto EasyReg:
Proust questionnaire
If you had to choose just one style of book?
I’m too eclectic to pick just one. I like diversity in reading. The most interesting non-fiction book I’ve read recently is “Papyrus” by Irène Vallejo.
If you had one memory from your teenage years?
My first trip to Asia.
If you could choose the ideal job?
I like what I do, a good combination of technical (IT) and regulatory expertise. I also particularly enjoy passing on my knowledge. I’m lucky to be able to teach risk and regulation, both in Lugano and Geneva.
If you were a plant?
A lemon tree, I love lemons.
If you were an animal?
The beaver, for its building skills.
If you were an artistic activity?
Opera, I’m a big fan.
I also love gardening, building Lego structures with my son and photography.
If you were a search engine or tool?
e-Reg, the online RegTech solution, of course, for regulatory research !
If you were one of the five senses?
Sight. For a search engine, that’s better!
If you were a work tool (smartphone, computer, tablet, pencil, etc.)?
Laptops, for the portability of the computer.
If you were a Swiss city?
Geneva, where I live. But also, Lugano for the quality of life, bearing in mind that I often went there for work because I speak Italian. Zurich too, where I spent a lot of time in banking.
What's your favourite quote?
“What is well conceived is easily expressed”. In fact, that’s the quote I’ve chosen to introduce our about page.
If you were a museum?
The Louvre, because it was the first major museum I visited in my life. I’ve been lucky enough to go back there often. It’s the history of humanity. This place takes you through a human epic.
What would you say is your favourite time of day?
In the morning.
If you were a fault?
Perfectionist.
If you had one quality?
Curious.
Which banking regulation reform do you find most interesting?
Basel III and Basel III final, because this will continue, despite all their flaws. These texts contain wisdom and a common denominator (acceptable to all) on good practice for securing the banking system. In other words, the least worst that has been found for the moment, even if criticisms are emerging. This will be the basis for future reforms of banking regulation.
