• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. The professional record (LinkedIn/index, via abdelmajid-youssfi-ba4476153) lists multiple held roles whose titles are quantitative-finance positions: Quantitative Analyst, Equity Derivatives at Societe Generale (2003-2005), Equity Derivatives Trader at Bank of America Merrill Lynch (2005-2009), Senior Quantitative Analyst FX & Rates Hybrid at BNP Paribas (2010-2012), and Director-Cross Asset Derivatives Trader at First Abu Dhabi Bank (2012-present). Employer classification: Societe Generale, Bank of America (Merrill Lynch), BNP Paribas and First Abu Dhabi Bank all run large derivatives/rates/FX and structured-products trading and quantitative-analytics businesses, so a quant or derivatives-trading role at any of them is a genuine quantitative-finance position, not merely a firm with 'quant' in its name. Identity is supported by the unique LinkedIn handle plus the aligned ~25-year derivatives track. Caveat: the role history rests on a single index/LinkedIn source, not an independent second primary source, and is not additionally corroborated by press or company pages.2026
• Career runs through bank derivatives desks: Software Engineer at Silvaco (2001-2003), Quantitative Analyst, Equity Derivatives at Societe Generale (2003-2005), Equity Derivatives Trader at Bank of America Merrill Lynch London (2005-2009), Senior Quantitative Analyst FX & Rates at BNP Paribas London (2010-2012), then Director Cross Asset Derivatives Trader at First Abu Dhabi Bank (2012-present).2026
• Identified as the Morocco IMO competitor Abdelmajid Youssfi: the index record for abdelmajid-youssfi-ba4476153 (Cross Asset Derivatives Trader at First Abu Dhabi Bank, ~25 yrs experience, Supélec master's) aligns with the IMO 1994/1995 Morocco team member of the same name; identity is a strong name-and-field match, but no single source cross-links the Olympiad record to the LinkedIn profile.1994
• The First Abu Dhabi Bank Director role shows as current on the index record with the profile last active 2026-05-12; current employment is reported as it appears on that record and is not independently confirmed, nor inferred beyond it, per the instruction not to infer current employment from an old index.2026
• IMO record: represented Morocco at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 1994 and 1995, earning a Bronze Medal in 1995 (score 24/42, rank 148) on the Morocco team.1995
• Employer classification detail: Silvaco Inc (silvaco.com), his first role (Software Engineer, 2001-2003, Bay Area), is a semiconductor electronic-design-automation company, not a quantitative-finance firm; that role is software engineering, distinct from the later bank quant/trading roles and not itself a quant-finance position.2003
• No mathematics research, publications, press interviews, personal website, GitHub or X account are publicly discoverable under this name (searches return only unrelated namesakes and Facebook/Amazon noise); the public footprint is limited to the LinkedIn profile, IMO records, and directory aggregators (ZoomInfo, SignalHire) that merely mirror the LinkedIn title.2026
