He holds an MSc from ETH Zürich and is pursuing a PhD in Earthquake Engineering at QuakeCoRE, where he applies machine learning to improve the resilience of water distribution systems. Xavier has led AI product initiatives and protocols & custody product work at UBS and Sygnum Bank, blending technical AI stewardship with product strategy in regulated environments.
