About Us
SPECIALISTS IN QUANT TALENT. DEEPLY EMBEDDED IN THE GULF.
Quantra exists to solve a precision hiring challenge: world-class quant and trading talent is rare — and even more so across the emerging financial hubs of the Gulf.
We combine global search experience with regional specialization. Our expertise spans systematic trading, crypto-native teams, and traditional asset managers with quant ambitions.
We’re domain-driven — not recruiters with a glossary. We understand how to evaluate skill in strategy design, research alpha, building backtests, optimizing execution, and scaling infrastructure.
OUR MISSION
The GCC is rising fast as a global financial hub — but world-class talent is still the missing piece. I started Quantra to solve that problem.
With over a decade of entrepreneurial experience, including founding Razorpoint, a successful recruitment firm, I’ve seen how the right hire can change everything. And as a British expat in the UAE, I understand both the ambition driving this region and the real challenges of relocating top-tier talent.
Quantra is built to bridge that gap — connecting high-performance individuals with the most forward-thinking firms across the Gulf. We bring local fluency and global reach to every search. There’s no reason the GCC can’t stand alongside London and New York. We’re here to help make that happen.
