About

Paal Dybsjord

I am a business and technology professional with more than 10 years of experience in regulated financial environments, primarily within UBS Asset Management. Throughout my career, I have worked at the intersection of business, technology, and operations, delivering data-driven analysis, process improvements, and large transformation initiatives where quality, precision, and clear decision-making are essential. Currently based in Zurich, Switzerland with my wife and our family, and we are preparing for our next chapter as we relocate to Norway.

My experience spans data quality, automation, project delivery, and operational governance. Throughout my career, I have focused on simplifying complex processes, improving data quality, and delivering practical solutions that reduce manual effort and create lasting improvements. Experience across settlement, portfolio control, fund operations, and global service teams has given me a broad understanding of how business, technology, and operations come together to deliver successful change.

Outside work, you'll most often find me spending time with my wife and our family, exploring the mountains through hiking and skiing, or staying active through endurance sports. I also enjoy creative side projects, particularly video production and software development, as a way to keep learning and challenge myself in different ways.
