Why me

I know the way.

No pedigree, no shortcut. Just the route I actually walked — and now hand over.

01

No shortcut handed to me

I had to learn how the industry hires, desk by desk.

02

I've done the unglamorous part

Confirmations, settlements, P&L reports — the work that builds a real trader.

03

I closed the gap and kept going

From back office to running a book to operating the grid.
