Bio
Diego Ortega Laya
Matt is a knockout performer who has driven phenomenal success in every line of business he’s touched. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Matt for the past two years on an equity derivatives structuring desk at Morgan Stanley. Between his top-notch coding capabilities, drive to improve processes, and knack for creating innovative solutions to complex problems, Matt is a professional with both hard and soft skills well beyond his years. Within his time at the firm, he leveraged his technical expertise, particularly in Python, to transform how we operate our business. He leads both high impact product and automation-oriented initiatives to the massive benefit of the division as a whole. I struggle to imagine a role that wouldn’t be taken to the next level by Matt’s presence
