Bio
Alexander Atanasiu, CFA
Jacob was a great asset to our team. He helped build a global stock selection model based on our domestic methodology, built a front-end macro for our in-house risk models and factor attribution, and helped update much of our existing code to improve efficiency. He also took a leading role on many ad-hoc requests in support of other teams throughout the organization. In both of his co-op assignments, Jacob has displayed a strong commitment to his projects and an ability to think and work independently. His keen interest in process improvement is evident in the breadth and quality of his work, and his energy and insightfulness would be an asset to any investment organization.
