About

Shubhi Agarwal is a trading infrastructure leader with deep experience across high-frequency trading, real-time risk systems, and multi-asset platform development. She began her career at Citi, developing ultra-low latency pricing models for options in the firm’s Options Market Making division. She then joined Tower Research Capital, where she rebuilt the firm’s global risk and portfolio monitoring platform from first principles, scaling it across 25+ desks in 8 countries. She also designed and delivered novel broker-facing real-time surveillance and risk limit enforcement systems — to ensure compliance with strict capital and flow controls. After earning her MBA from Wharton (focused on capital markets and product strategy), Shubhi joined Nascent, a multi-asset proprietary trading and venture firm, as Principal Product Manager and Head of Strategic Initiatives. Reporting to the CEO, she built the firm’s trading platform from the ground up — leading execution stack development, prime broker and market data onboarding, colocation setup, and internal analytics tooling across asset classes. Beyond technical product work, she has launched internal business tools to streamline treasury operations, expense attribution, and capital visibility — bridging trading, operations, and finance. She brings a rare combination of technical fluency, strategic judgment, and operational execution — and thrives at the intersection of infrastructure and decision-making. She has worked across markets in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, and remains deeply engaged in the broader capital markets and venture ecosystem.
