During my career I have worked on the trading desks and asset management divisions of several large global banks. My roles have been a mixture of technology and business-facing roles, that have given me in-depth knowledge of both technology and business processes. I am highly numerate, have strong problem solving skills and the ability to both understand and clearly communicate complex concepts. I have had exposure to many risk management methodologies including Value-At-Risk and risk factor models for tracking error and risk calculations. My work on trading systems has given me exposure to derivative traders’ requirements for pricing and risk reporting.
