About

I specialise in recruiting front and middle office quantitative roles for buy-side firms, including energy traders, hedge funds and proprietary trading firms. In September 2013 I started my first recruitment job. 5 years to the day since the collapse of Lehman Brothers. The market I would be recruiting was...Risk. Over the next decade, I branched out into recruiting technical roles, including data science, model risk and quantitative analysis. No idea why. I can't code. I have a C in GCSE maths. But I found quant super interesting. Early in my career I started working with Ryan Norquoy. We immediately clicked. Within 5 years of working together, we progressed from trainee consultants at Randstad F&P to managing the risk, compliance & quantitative analysis recruitment desks at BSM Group. We now co-run our own recruitment agency, Statera Talent. Some highlights below: Randstad F&P: - Led the permanent Risk desk at Randstad F&P from May 2015 until leaving in Feb 2017 - Billed over £200k in my first full financial year as a consultant BSM Group: - Our team of 3 became the most profitable desk in the London Business - Generated over £500k of new client revenue for the business globally Gresham Hunt: - Highest Biller 2021-2022 - Set a new company record for the most revenue generated in a financial year
