Ex CTO/Partner Brevan Howard

Ex CTO/Partner and member of the Partnership from 2007-2016. Brevan Howard grew from assets of $870m in April 2003 to become one of the largest and most successful hedge funds in Europe with AUM over $40bn by 2013 including a significant average return since inception in its flagship fund. 


As Chief Technology Officer, I built a team of over 100 experts from NASA scientists to support and data specialists for all development and valuation across all assets. This covered front, middle and back-office areas and included 200+ specialist and successful trading analysis and trade finder tools. With consistent and accurate real-time P&L and RISK we adapted quickly and traded profitability during extreme events such as the 2008 financial crisis.
