Vice President | D.E. Shaw & Co. | New York City, New York, United States

With over 16 years of experience as a seasoned valuation professional in a hedge fund, my role is integral to assessing the fair value of diverse financial instruments and assets held by the fund. These instruments span sectors such as real estate, renewable energy, healthcare, and other private/VC investments. I possess proven expertise in conducting thorough analyses of complex financial instruments, evaluating their risk-return profiles, and ensuring adherence to regulatory guidelines and accounting standards.
Remaining up-to-date with market trends is paramount as it enables me to anticipate valuation risks and identify potential opportunities. Collaboration with research teams is a key aspect of my work, involving the analysis of market data encompassing pricing information, liquidity metrics, and benchmarking data.
Effectively communicating valuation findings, methodologies, and assumptions is crucial in my role. I regularly engage with internal stakeholders such as portfolio managers, traders, senior management, and compliance officers to relay this information. Furthermore, I deliver valuation reports, performance metrics, and related analyses during investment committee meetings and client presentations.
As part of my responsibilities, I also provide guidance, mentorship, and training to a team of valuation professionals. This involves nurturing their technical expertise and analytical capabilities to ensure high-quality outputs.
