Creating a new business is a difficult task, just ask any entrepreneurs you know. Now
imagine what it would be like to be a part of creating an entire industry, one that went
through years of proving and evolution. That is where Jezri Mohideen fits in, one of the
quiet folks on the forefront of the creation of one of the most important features of our
modern economy, financial engineering.
Financial engineering has allowed banks to increase returns, conduct electronic trades,
and use computer algorithms to make the right decisions. All of this has driven up
banking returns to historical levels. As one of the key men who was there Mohideen
continues to blaze trails and win industry accolades for his work.
Throughout the course of his career Jezri Mohideen has been a passionate leader in the
financial services sector. His career has taken him from Goldman Sachs to Barclays to
RBS, amongst others. In 2012 he lead the EMEA Delta Rates trading to win the Inflation
Derivatives House of the Year at the 2012 awards.
Jerzi Mohideen comments on RBS Award, here in this DailyMotion Video and says“…this
was a great endorsement for RBS and demonstrated the fact that the bank remained a
market leader in terms of risk management.”
This was however, not the first time Mohideen had been involved with a firm to win the
prestigious industry award. From 1998 to 2006 he was part of the team at Barclays
Capital, who during that time also won the Risk Magazine Award.
“A career in banking is a ticket to see the world and help build global companies by
managing their assets,” he recently was quoted as saying.
Jezri Mohideen’s career took him to London and Tokyo amongst other places. Recently
he became the Project Leader on Optimized Fixed Income Auction Cycles at Imperial
College in London. He also holds the position of Senior Advisor for Banner Asset
Management.
His career bath started in the Engineering field, after he graduated with a Masters in
Chemical Engineering. Unsure of which career path to pursue he went on to earn a PhD
in Process Systems Engineering. This unique career background has lead to him
producing academic papers in both financial engineering and chemical engineering; it
also put him at the forefront of the global development of financial engineering.
Like most young aspiring bankers Mohideen’s career started on the trading desks at
Goldman Sachs upon completion of his PhD. He would then go on to hold multiple
senior positions at numerous global banks. This included a stint as the Head of Yen
Swaps Trading in Tokyo for RBS.
Today’s young people and graduates would do well to follow in his footsteps. Who
knows they just might revolutionize the sector.
