Thomas Paul

Huntsville,UT

Summary

Thomas is a highly accomplished financial professional with over 25 years of experience in the investment banking and hedge fund industries. Thomas has a proven track record of success in managing funds and overseeing interest rate risk. Mr. Paul has worked at several investment banks and hedge funds and served on numerous boards.

By approaching financial markets from an engineering perspective, Thomas Paul used a systematic approach to build a world-class trading operation using a unified approach that converted data into signals, allowing traders to quantify their subjective beliefs and domain expertise in a probabilistic setting. Through this approach, Thomas was able to continually grow the business through multiple rate cycles.

Thomas was able to safely leverage electronic trading to create a fully automated market-making platform that actively managed curve risk and priced the universe of Treasury products by including and quantifying uncertainty in models. This resulted in Deutsche Bank becoming the leading government bond desk during his role as Managing Director.

He is currently seeking a senior position in the financial industry that will allow him to utilize his extensive experience and skills.
