Personal Statement:
I am a highly motivated and effective operations analyst and manager within the financial services sector; I thrive on
delivering high quality solutions under pressure. I have a proven track record of providing professional services to a
broad range of individuals including traders and management and I understand the importance of delivering tangible
benefits at all times.
My aim is to surpass expectations by using innovative and effective ideas. I am experienced in providing meticulous
management of accounts, allowing successful, long-lasting relationships to be formed and retained.
I have a broad knowledge of a wide variety of financial instruments (including Options, Futures, Equities, ETF’s, CFDs,
Bonds, Repos, Swaptions, Swaps, FRAs, CDSs and FX Instruments). I am also proficient with Excel, Word, Outlook
and PowerPoint.
My entire work history has been at the one company - Mako Global due to company loyalty, commitment to the role and
opportunities of personal growth where I achieved seniority and leadership roles.
Key Achievements and Successes:
• Recognised the need and designed and oversaw the implementation of the automated process of reconciliations
and P&L publish to traders and management daily. This allowed extremely vast amounts of critical data from
multiple clearers and prime brokers to be reconciled daily with a very small team, comparative to the task in
hand. This template was later used and expanded on for use to reconciling Hedge Fund Net Asset Values
(NAV’s) to the administrators.
• Successfully project managed every facet of the set-up of the office in Sydney including working out projected
volumes, edge per contract, projected cash-flows etc., to building a solid professional network and determining
and mitigating all operational risk issues.
• Pro-actively set multiple safe guards and strategies in place around option exercises and the timely return of
stock borrows around corporate action and dividend events to avoid the negative tax implications resultant from
being un-netted short settled stock and unsettled long. This lead to my becoming the company’s resident go-to
man for all queries related to corporate action events.
• Successfully project managed the company’s move into commodities options (prop trading and market making),
specifically Agriculturals and Oil products in the US markets.
