You don't often see people move from fintech to hedge funds, but D.E. Shaw appears to have hired an exception. Its newest trader, despite being a recent graduate, has experience across banking, fintech and private equity. Aloïs Savanne joins D.E. Shaw as a macro trader in discretionary currency and emerging markets trading. He was previously a product manager at payments fintech Airwallex in Shanghai, but will be operating between D.E. Shaw's New York and Singapore offices. Before Airwallex Savanne's prior experience involved a tour of big name brands, although none of them were in trading.
