Abdoulaye Ba, Data Scientist, Natixis
I started my career at Cap Gemini as an IT development engineer between 2006 and February 2008. In 2008, I joined BNP Investment Managers as Project Manager and was responsible for scoping business requirements and developing technical solutions related to investment compliance. In 2011 I was appointed as PM/Business Analyst at Natixis Asset Management with oversight for the development and implementation of trading and portfolio management solutions with a focus on workflow design, data analysis, data migration and systems testing. In April 2018 I joined the trading desk as a data scientist with a focus on pre-trade analytics and the automation and optimization of front office functionalities reporting directly to the global head of trading.
