• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Ivan Ganev (LinkedIn /in/ivanganev, the Cambridge-trained IMO 2017 Bulgarian silver medalist) holds/has held actual quantitative-finance roles: Quantitative Researcher (later VP) at Xantium Group - Tudor Investment Corporation since 2023, and Quantitative Strategist at Goldman Sachs Asset Management (Systematic Credit / Fixed Income Strat) 2021-2023 plus a Quantitative Strategist Internship in 2020. Identity is supported across independent sources (LinkedIn headline; IMO official records; American College of Sofia ties). Employer classification: Xantium Group is the systematic/quantitative trading arm of Tudor Investment Corporation (xantium.com), a genuine quantitative hedge fund; Goldman Sachs Asset Management Systematic Credit and Fixed Income Strat are quantitative investment roles inside a bank. Earlier Machine Learning Intern at Identrics (Sofia, NLP) in 2019 is a software role, NOT quantitative finance. Note that the roles themselves are reported on his LinkedIn profile as surfaced via index/aggregator records; employer OPERATIONS (quantitative finance) are independently confirmed by the firms' own pages.2026
• Identity resolution: the caller's LinkedIn lead https://linkedin.com/in/ivangganev is NOT this person. That profile is a different Ivan Ganev, a Sofia-based software engineer (ICPC World Finalist, ex-Gem/Span/Man Group). The IMO 2017 Bulgarian silver medalist is the Cambridge-trained quant at https://linkedin.com/in/ivanganev, whose headline reads 'Quantitative Researcher at Xantium Group - Tudor Investment Corporation. Cambridge MMath Distinction. IMO Silver Medalist.'
• Won a silver medal for Bulgaria at IMO 2017 with 23 points (7/7 on P2), per the official IMO team results page.Jul 2017
• The caller-supplied role 'Man Group, Software Engineer, 2024-05 to 2025-07' belongs to the OTHER Ivan Ganev (in/ivangganev), not the IMO 2017 target - it is retained here as a disambiguated lead only, not as this profile's employment.
• Employer Xantium Group is a quantitative trading division of Tudor Investment Corporation (London), running systematic, quantitative and discretionary/fundamental strategies across global markets - a genuine quantitative finance employer, not merely a name containing 'quant'.
• American College of Sofia corroboration: classmate Hristo Papazov's LinkedIn states the college's award was for the first time shared by two students, 'Ivan Ganev and me', alongside IMO achievement - an independent tie linking the IMO Ivan Ganev to ACS before Cambridge.
• Calendar spans schools cleanly: American College of Sofia 2012-2017, then University of Cambridge MMath with Distinction; his own LinkedIn post ('proud to share that I've finished my MMath') dates the Cambridge degree completion to ~2021, immediately before the Goldman Sachs Quant Strategist role.2021
• IMO 2017 Bulgarian team member Ivan Ganev previously appears in the 2015 Australian Scene as 'Ivan Ganev, Childrens Academy 21st Century, Bulgaria', indicating earlier olympiad-team participation from the same school pipeline; the 2017 silver (23 pts) is the confirmed senior result.2015
