Lorenz Reichel

I am a quantitative finance professional and team leader. For the past six years I have headed a function of 25 specialists spread across multiple locations, combining hands-on analytical depth with the kind of leadership that helps talented people do their best work. My background is in quantitative risk: complex models, stress testing, regulatory dialogue. I have spent most of my career at the interface between rigorous mathematics and real financial decisions, and I genuinely enjoy the hard problems, the ones where the answer isn't obvious and the stakes are high. I am also someone who stays restless about new technology. Machine learning and its applications in finance have been a growing focus, both through applied projects and continued learning. That curiosity is not separate from my professional identity, it is central to it. Outside of finance, I started as a participant and bronze medal winner at the International Mathematical Olympiad, and have since returned eight more time

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. LinkedIn profile enrichment shows a sustained quantitative-finance career at UBS, a global bank whose risk and treasury functions run quantitative models: Quantitative Risk Analyst (2010-2013, market risk aggregation / VaR methodology), Quantitative Risk Specialist (2014-2017, model validation quant for Asset Management), Quantitative Risk Analyst - Team Lead (2017-2019, Treasury Model Validation for IRRBB), and Head of Treasury Model Validation (2019-present, liquidity stress testing, interest rate risk, net interest income). Also a 2013-2014 stint as Manager, Financial Risk Management at Deloitte Zurich doing quantitative risk advisory. UBS is a bank (quantitative risk/treasury, not a systematic hedge fund or prop trading firm); no employment at a dedicated quant trading/market-making/hedge-fund firm was found. Identity is supported by the profile's own IMO/Swiss Mathematical Olympiad details matching the target. Role evidence is index/LinkedIn-only, not independently confirmed by a primary corporate source.
• Career is concentrated at UBS in Zurich across two stints (2010-2013 and 2014-present): Quantitative Risk Analyst (2010-2013), Quantitative Risk Specialist (2014-2017), Quantitative Risk Analyst - Team Lead (2017-2019), and Head of Treasury Model Validation / Executive Director (2019-present).
• PhD in Mathematics from ETH Zürich (2004-2009), preceded by an MSc in Mathematics at the same institution (1999-2004); career since has remained in quantitative risk rather than academic mathematics.
• A one-year detour from UBS as Manager, Financial Risk Management at Deloitte Zurich (2013-2014), in quantitative risk advisory covering model development, model validation and internal quantitative support.
• Founding member and first Chairman of the Swiss Mathematical Olympiad and leader of the Swiss team at the International Mathematical Olympiads 2001-2006; this volunteer role overlapped his ETH PhD years (2003-2006 entry).
• Competed for Switzerland at the IMO as a high-schooler and won a bronze medal; his own LinkedIn post confirms the 1999 competition in Bucharest.
• Earlier role as Business Analyst at BMPI AG (tax reporting) listed in 2010, before the quantitative risk career at UBS.
