I have known and collaborated with Erik Johnson for over 25 years, beginning with our roles as regional treasury heads at Siemens—Erik in Hong Kong and myself in New York. Together, we were responsible for designing, streamlining, and implementing customized processes and protocols aimed at clarifying and managing complex corporate risk profiles across various asset classes, including interest rates, foreign exchange, credit, and commodities. This work ensured alignment with company objectives and risk management practices. Over the years, we have frequently partnered on global hedging strategies for corporate clients. Erik has dedicated his career to advancing the field of treasury risk management, demonstrating an exceptional commitment to deep understanding, integrity, and high professional standards.
