Experience

2014-NOW: Executive Director, Goldman Sachs, Hong Kong

I work at the interest rate exotics and hybrids trading desk, covering all APEJ currencies. Main focus is our structured notes and exotics business. More occasionally I'm also involved in other types of funding trades, most commonly repo trades (I started Goldman's APEJ repo desk, with a focus on funding Malaysian, Thai, Phillippino, Indonesian and Korean government securities).

I transferred to interest rate exotics trading, focusing on NJA currencies. Focused on structured notes issuance and exotics, building a successful franchise across several client groups.

In the later parts of my stint in Macro Structuring, I focused more exclusively on interest rate products and also got quite heavily involved in our structured notes issuance business, being involved in both structuring, pricing and idea-generation. In 2012 I transferred to interest rate exotics trading, performing several of the same tasks but also focusing on risk management.

2009-2009: Analyst, Goldman Sachs, London

I worked in the Hedge Fund Credit Sales team.
