Global Markets Trainee at CACIB | Trading Exposure (Linear & Non-Linear)

Tokyo, Japan

About

Currently on a trading floor in Tokyo at Crédit Agricole CIB, working directly with sales and traders across linear and non-linear desks. Focused on global rates and macro markets in real time, with exposure to flows, pricing dynamics, and risk transmission. Prior experience at VanEck in Frankfurt and Degroof Petercam in Brussels across investment and markets-facing environments, with a consistent focus on decision-making under uncertainty and market structure. Alongside my role in finance, I am a military reservist, reinforcing discipline, execution under pressure, and accountability. I recently completed CFA Level I (results pending), alongside continuous focus on macro, rates, and derivatives. I am most interested in trading environments where P&L is immediate, risk is explicit, and decision speed under uncertainty is the core edge.
