Balyasny expands London portfolio manager integration team
Balyasny Asset Management is continuing to expand its London operation, adding specialist roles focused on integrating and supporting portfolio managers as the hedge fund recruits across commodities, quantitative strategies and other areas, according to a report by eFinancial Careers.
Balyasny Asset Management is bolstering its London portfolio manager integration team to streamline operations as the firm recruits additional portfolio managers across commodities, quantitative strategies, and other areas, according to eFinancial Careers. The company has hired over 100 individuals in London over the past year, with a significant focus on commodities and quantitative roles, based on LinkedIn data.
Among the latest hires is Alexandra Theis, appointed as head of portfolio manager integration and relationship management for EMEA. She joins Balyasny alongside Jessica McMullen, who also took on a comparable role in June. The responsibilities of these executives were not disclosed by Balyasny.
The appointments reflect the hedge fund's efforts to manage the operational demands of its multi-manager model, where individual investment teams operate within a centralized platform. McMullen previously served as a senior vice president in prime finance at Citi, while Theis had a director role at BNP Paribas in prime brokerage sales.
In addition to her financial services background, Theis has experience as a coach, offering guidance on various topics including wellbeing and fertility through an external coaching practice.
