Credit Trader

Morgan Stanley

Joined the EM Credit Trading desk as an analyst, with the first year spent supporting the traders on the desk. This included the optimisation of various spreadsheets, improving the efficiency of various projects in a short space of time. I was able to adapt to very fast-paced environment with sharpness and attention to detail amongst my key strengths.

Given the responsibility to manage my own risk and P&L early, trading sovereigns within EMEA, including Turkey, Russia, South Africa, CEE and MENA, with a particular focus on electronic trading across the whole board.

6 months into trading the EMEA electronic book, the P&L performance provided an opportunity for me to manage my own region, MENA, with a focus on rebuilding the sovereign and corporate credit (including Sukuk) trading franchise.

Built excellent relationships with MENA investors and initiated various client trips to the Middle East to meet locals. This led to substantial revenue-generating business for the firm as well as a strengthening of key relationships that had lost traction previously. In addition, I managed to cultivate strong relationships with key real money and hedge fund accounts to attract more MENA business for the firm.

Active in recruitment, mentoring, training and diversity initiatives. Led trading game sessions for university students looking to get into the industry, whilst conducting interviews for potential internship candidates.
