I was lucky enough to have strong team members and the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility as the team morphed numerous times during my tenure. I studied commodities markets from Crude Oil & Products to Precious & Base Metals, providing coverage, market color and trade ideas to both macro and commodity specialist institutional investors. Over time I handled our EOD Crude trading commentary read by +500 top energy related professionals and was also involved with our Quantitative Investment Strategies. By automating first year tasks I was able to quickly dive into market analysis. When our VP was poached, I was asked to step into the majority of the gap left, and when our MD was promoted, I was asked to manage the day to day of the desk. The above progression also led me to train and run two junior analysts and two supporting analysts. Show less
