Point72 has appointed Ashot Ordukhanyan, a former JPMorgan equities risk chief, as its new head of risk technology in New York, according to a report by eFinancial Careers. Ordukhanyan joins the hedge fund after spending two years as head of quantitative development at ActiveViam, and two years as co-head of JPMorgan's equities central risk book.
Central risk book teams manage and monitor exposures from trading desks, a skillset that is increasingly valuable in multi-strategy hedge funds that rely on technology to track positions and manage risk. Ordukhanyan's career has spanned over two decades, with stints at Goldman Sachs, RBS, and Deutsche Bank, where he held senior quantitative strategy roles.
He recently departed from Point72, where senior technology figure Guillaume Gimonet also left to join Vanguard. Point72 did not comment on Ordukhanyan's appointment.
