Kouadio Désiré Martial Aguessi

Quantitative finance professional with a strong academic foundation from Telecom SudParis (Class of 2018), specializing in Finance and Modeling & Applied Statistics (MSA). I have extensive experience in risk management, spanning Credit and Market Risk, with expertise in model development, validation, and regulatory frameworks like FRTB, CCR, and xVA. Passionate about quantitative investment strategies, I am driven by the challenge of applying data-driven insights to optimize trading models and asset allocation. With a proven ability to collaborate closely with front office teams and stakeholders, I deliver strategic solutions that enhance risk models and decision-making processes. Proficient in Python, C++, and SQL, I am always eager to push boundaries in financial innovation and strategy.
