Your Advisor

Selene brings a dual background in finance and technology:

  • She began her career at Wall Street investment banks as an investment-banking analyst in Hong Kong and New York, with deep coverage of the Asia-Pacific and US equity markets.
  • She later moved into the technology industry, holding investment-strategy and quantitative-analysis roles at several publicly listed Silicon Valley tech companies, where she has managed multiple product and investment portfolios at the multi-billion-dollar scale.
  • She holds dual bachelor's degrees in Economics and Computer Science from an Ivy League university, and earned her MBA from one of the M7 business schools.

This dual finance-and-technology background gives Selene a rare edge in options strategy design — combining the valuation rigor of an investment banker with the insight of a technology industry insider.
