Election post
Dear Members,
I’m Agathe, and I’m excited to run for VP of Quant Ventures at UCL Fintech Society.
A bit about me: I’m a Management Science student with a minor in Engineering Mathematics, I love quant finance, trading, and fintech, and I’ve spent way too much time tweaking Python and R models to predict market moves (spoiler: markets don’t care).
As an executive since last June, Fintech Soc has been an incredible part of my year, and I’ve seen just how much one person can bring to the society.
My vision for next year: Make Quant Ventures bigger, better, and bolder.
- More industry speakers from hedge funds, fintech firms, and quant trading desks.
- Hands-on quant workshops where we build models, not just talk about them.
- A trading challenge: because nothing brings a room of finance and tech passionates together like competition (and maybe some prizes).
- Collaborations with other societies—because quant is everywhere, and we should be too: Quant Soc, Investment, Data Science, Poker (PS: I’m the current Treasurer of Poker Soc so collaborative tournaments would be pretty simple to organize for all the poker lovers in the society).
At the end of the day, I love this space. I’ve worked in VC, consulting, M&A, and markets, and I know what makes fintech and quant exciting. I want to make sure Quant Ventures is a place where you learn, connect, and leave with an edge in finance and tech.
So, vote for me, and let’s take Quant Ventures to the next level.
