Top SchoolDan Houghton is a quantitative developer and entrepreneurial product leader with 10 years of experience building data platforms and trading tools across finance and consumer sectors. He blends hands-on Quant/Python/SQL engineering—most recently leading Jefferies’ Central Risk Book in EMEA—with a track record of designing analytics stacks (Redshift/dbt/Looker, BigQuery/Databricks) and transforming teams into empowered product units. A founder who scaled a national restaurant chain to £10m+ revenue and raised £15M, he pairs commercial instincts with deep technical fluency from Cambridge in maths and speech & language processing. Recognised as a top disruptive entrepreneur in the UK, he also teaches algorithmic trading best practices and has repeatedly turned failing reporting stacks into high-usage, self-serve platforms. Notably, he moves comfortably between capital-markets risk products and user-focused B2B product strategy, accelerating decision-making through better data design.
