Employed since:    April 2013

Education and experience

I worked at another energy company as a short-term trader. The energy industry is an exciting market, but I missed the analytical aspect, which is why my job at Energi Danmark is a good combination for me.

What are your daily tasks?

As a quantitative analyst, I use my knowledge of statistical and economic analysis to develop pricing models for a number of derivatives and spot prices. I disseminate and present large volumes of data to our power traders where I focus on speed and automation. I mainly work with time series econometrics and identify models that can handle high volatility. In addition, I spend much of my time in programs like R and SQL Management Studio. Because of my business sense from my previous experience as a power trader, I am also involved in the development of projects between the Trading Department and the IT & Analysis Department.

What are your main strengths?

The key is to be outgoing. Besides being analytically strong, it is important to be open and to gather information which I can then convert into new models and programs that facilitate and automate workflows.

What do you like about the Energi Danmark Group as a workplace?

There is a high level of freedom to influence my own tasks as well as opportunities to take responsibility and talented colleagues to work with.
