Speaker: Roy Verbaan

Roy is a Quantitative Researcher at Optiver, and holds a MSc in Quantitative Finance from Erasmus University Rotterdam.

Since joining over 5 years ago he has worked on various topics with the end goal of helping Optiver's single-stock trading business to scale. With a limited number of traders we intend to exponentially increase the number of products we trade, which we can only achieve by making our decision making more data-driven.

Roy specializes in the topic of building frameworks that allow us to translate real-world events such as macroeconomic and company-specific news releases to data and quantifying how we expects our products to behave in such situations.
