Our Chief Technology Officer Ilya Gaysinskiy recently sat down with Business Insider to discuss his strategic vision for advancing technology at Point72. Some of Ilya’s top priorities since joining the firm in September 2024 include identifying and exploring opportunities to leverage artificial intelligence, as well as ensuring we’re hiring, developing, and recognizing top talent across all levels of the Technology organization.
Ilya has launched Point72’s first technology-focused college recruiting program, extending our commitment to developing talent across the organization. As he told Business Insider, “Point72 is very well known for attracting and actually building talent in many ways, and I wanted to make sure that is true not just of the investment professionals and PMs, but also in technology,”
Under his leadership, Point72 is also expanding its technology footprint globally, with plans to establish a new tech hub in Bengaluru, India, complementing our global network of offices. This “follow-the-sun” support model will strengthen our ability to meet the demands of a connected financial system that never sleeps.
Ilya understands firsthand that developers are the backbone of any organization and “setting a culture where engineers have the freedom to innovate, express their creativity toward the common purpose of building amazing solutions is super important.” Point72 is committed to creating an environment where exceptional talent wants to come and build meaningful careers.
