Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Faben is a liquidity risk specialist and quantitative modeller with eight years' experience in banking risk, currently serving as VP for Liquidity Risk Models at Barclays. He combines deep academic training—a PhD in Mathematics (computational complexity) and an MSc in Operational Research—with practical delivery of VBA and SQL tooling and financial analysis to support regulatory and P&L-sensitive decisions. Previously he led a small team focused on counterparty credit data quality for interest rate derivatives under Basel III, blending technical stewardship with team management. Comfortable moving between rigorous theoretical thinking and pragmatic code-driven solutions, he is based in the Greater Glasgow Area and brings a rare mix of computational complexity insight to everyday risk modelling challenges. Notably, his background in teaching and outreach suggests strong communication skills for translating complex quantitative ideas to non-specialist stakeholders.
