Beacon Platform is pleased to announce that it is further strengthening the company’s product strategy with the appointment of Asset Tarabayev as Chief Product Officer. Asset brings 15 years of experience in product management, quantitative analytics, and computer science to the role, and will lead Beacon’s growing team of product managers and product marketing specialists, reporting to Alla Liberman, Beacon’s COO/CFO
Mr. Tarabayev’s experience leading both engineering and product management teams will be a great asset to the company, as will his depth of knowledge and experience in quantitative trading and modeling. Before joining Beacon, Asset held the role of Chief Product Officer at Quantitative Brokers. Prior to that he spent 10 years at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in a variety of roles, from developer of low-latency trading systems, through research and development of trading execution algorithms, to Director of Equity Electronic Trading Product. Asset holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Computer Engineering, as well as a Master’s in Mathematical Finance.
“One of my favorite quotes is ‘workarounds do not scale’”, said Asset. “Beacon is well positioned as the ultimate countermeasure to workarounds. By providing a quantitative developer and risk management platform that also integrates with existing systems, clients can readily replace the cumbersome spreadsheets often used as workarounds to legacy applications. I am excited to join Beacon and help scale and promote its already feature-rich product offering.”
“I am thrilled to welcome Asset to Beacon as Chief Product Officer,” said Alla Liberman, Beacon’s COO/CFO “We have substantially grown our product team over the past few years and increased our focus on product-led growth. Asset’s combination of experience in product management, engineering, and quantitative finance will be of great benefit to Beacon’s product team and the company as a whole.”
