1) DES · DESCRIPTIONLSX <PERSON>
I take complex projects from strategy to delivery.
I lead strategic projects for enterprise clients at Zinkworks, from problem definition through to implementation. Right now that's a workstream in Virgin Media O2's AI programme; before it, delivery of a futures trading risk platform for Citi. Grounded in seven years of derivatives and valuation at HSBC, then fintech Wayflyer. Side ventures throughout.

Why did median time to hire go from 32 → 52 days?
