Quantitative Risk Manager with expertise in market risk and modeling.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Quantitative Risk Manager with over a decade of experience in financial risk management and quantitative analysis. My career has been marked by a strong focus on developing and implementing risk metrics, including Value at Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES), which have significantly enhanced the risk management frameworks of the organizations I've worked with.
At EDFT London, I led a team of quants in advancing the Monte Carlo measure for market risk, successfully increasing the coverage of risk metrics and improving the data treatment in PFE code. My previous role at Entris Banking involved leading financial risk for ALCO reporting, where I designed stress scenarios for financial planning. My experience at PostFinance AG further solidified my expertise in risk measurement and alternative asset management, where I implemented a Monte Carlo scenario generator and automated market risk measurement systems.
