Associate analyst with expertise in fixed income and trading strategies.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated finance professional with extensive experience in fixed income and trading strategies. My journey began with a solid educational foundation, earning a Master's in Financial Economics from Erasmus University Rotterdam and a Master's in Financial Markets from the Higher School of Economics. My academic pursuits have been complemented by hands-on experience in various trading roles, where I have honed my analytical and strategic skills.
In my most recent position as an Associate Analyst at VTB Capital, I wrote comprehensive market reports and provided strategic insights to trading and asset management teams. My previous roles as a Trader at Keyrock and Junior Trader at Bank DOM.RF allowed me to manage significant FX exposures and lead client negotiations, enhancing my ability to navigate complex financial landscapes. I take pride in my contributions to improving reporting accuracy and developing automated solutions that streamline processes.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I am passionate about chess and team sports, regularly participating in community events. I also enjoy sharing my knowledge as a lecturer on fixed income topics, which reflects my commitment to continuous learning and professional development.
