Brian Banna

My work focuses on quantitative modelling and financial data analysis. I develop systematic models and research frameworks to study market dynamics with a particular interest in commodities and trading strategies.

I previously worked in quantitative research related to commodity markets where I built market signals using production data, refining capacity and global trade flows. In parallel, I have developed several research projects around systematic trading strategies, including market regime modelling, futures curve factor strategies and statistical arbitrage models.

Previously, I served as President and Head of Sales at Junior Entreprise EPFL, Switzerland's largest student run consultancy. I led a 35 person team and managed more than CHF 500k in project volume, driving 22% YoY revenue growth and personally closing CHF 430k across projects in finance, commodities and energy.

Outside of work, I'm interested in financial history and its links to global politics, classical and practical philosophy, horology and tennis.
