Hasan Marafi, Principal and founding member of Rippy Global, has vast experience, largely in the financial services industry. With a BS & MS in Finance, Hasan leverages end-to-end analytical tools and applications to analyze market risk, track liquidity metrics, and monitor market moves in real-time. Mr Marafi is also an experienced Managing Partner with a demonstrated history of working in the venture capital and private equity industry. It took time for Mr. Marafi to become a pro trader. “Every day was a learning experience for me. I got a thorough understanding of trading after the consistent learning practice of almost five years”, he said. More so, he lives his life by the philosophy that states, “A master has failed more times than the beginner has ever even tried.” Considering himself a student of the market, he is gradually evolving as a trader. Opting for a different route than that of doing a 9 to 5 job, Hasan Marafi chose to become a trader, and today he has made a living out of his profession.
