Short Bio: I graduated from the Athens University of Economics and Business with a bachelor's degree in Accounting and Finance. During my studies, I worked as a researcher in the field of contingent-claims valuation and option pricing. From December 2021 to January 2023, I worked as a Financial Services and Risk Management (FSRM) consultant at EY, specializing in the modeling of counterparty credit risk and market risk for OTC Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange derivatives portfolios. Since February 2023, I have been working as an Associate in Stout’s Complex Securities and Financial Instruments (CSFI) team. My practice areas include the valuation of equity and debt instruments issued by private equity and venture capital-backed firms with multi-share capital structures, as well as the valuation of path-dependent embedded derivatives and liabilities using closed-form models and simulation-based techniques. My scope of work includes fair value analyses for financial reporting purposes (ASC 326, ASC 718, ASC 805, and ASC 820), as well as fair market value analyses for tax reporting purposes (IRC 409A, Gift & Estate Planning). My research interests lie in the application of option pricing theory for valuing private assets, embedded derivatives, stock-based compensation, defaultable securities, as well as hybrid equity instruments.
