Having worked in the currency markets for more than 20 years, I have always been passionate about using my quantitative skills and knowledge to assist clients by creating and building innovative products and solutions for them. I have worked on both the sell-side and buy-side of the industry in quantitative research and portfolio management roles and I also have experience of setting up my own business and working as an independent consultant. In my most recent role, I was part of a global currency team in which I provided bespoke analytical work for clients and I was also the portfolio manager of a G10 systematic model-based trading strategy, which I created. Throughout my career I have had numerous articles published in international periodicals and books, including having my MSc thesis published in the Journal of Alternative Investments and, more recently, having my paper on the G10 systematic trading model I created published in the Journal of Investment Consulting. I was also approached by Risk Publications to create and edit a technical book on currency and this was published in 2009. I am an experienced public speaker having presented my research and analysis at numerous conferences around the world. I consider myself to be a creative and flexible thinker who enjoys the challenge of producing innovative analysis and solutions for clients. I have an entrepreneurial and proactive approach to work and I am comfortable working independently or as part of a global team. Having held client-facing roles throughout the whole of my career, my communication skills are strong and I articulate complex topics clearly. I am experienced at managing multiple projects simultaneously and I enjoy having roles in which leadership and strategic planning responsibilities are key.
