“Whether I'm trading equity derivatives orcompeting against the world's best poker players, my objective is the same:identify positive expected-value opportunities while managing risk underuncertainty.”

‍I joined O’Neil Securities to build and grow itsequity derivatives business. I look forward to partnering with institutionalclients and collaborating with the rest of the Options team to deliverdifferentiated trading solutions and exceptional client service.

Throughout my career as a market maker and riskmanager, I have developed expertise in identifying attractive tradingopportunities and helping clients navigate complex markets. I have partneredwith institutional investors to evaluate risk, source liquidity, and executederivatives transactions efficiently across a wide range of market environments.

Most recently, I worked at BNP Paribas, where Iserved as Head of Single Stock Options Flow Trading and then Head of ETF Options Flow Trading. As Head of Single Stock Options, I managed a team oftraders covering every major U.S. sector while personally making markets in thetechnology sector. As Head of ETF Options Flow Trading, I managed market makingand risk across equity, fixed income, credit, commodity, and emerging market ETFs.

I began my career at JPMorgan as an FX trader,with an expatriate assignment trading the Russian ruble in London and Moscow, before transitioning to the U.S. equity derivatives team, where I became an Executive Director trading listed options, OTC derivatives, and structured products.

I graduated magna cum laude from Duke University with a BA in Economics and Russian. My academic background and experiencetrading multiple asset classes and global markets have shaped the way I think about risk, communication, and client service.

Beyond trading, I spent several years competingas a professional poker player. I am a two-time World Series of Poker championand was named World Poker Tour Player of the Year in my first year playingprofessional poker. Although I was fairly new to poker, my edge came from yearsof experience making disciplined, time-pressured decisions with incomplete information as a trader.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with myfamily, playing tennis, playing the piano, backgammon, and fantasy baseball.
