Lura Jane

(Chief investment analyst, London)

After a BA in maths at the university of oxford and an MSC in finance from imperial College Business School, I started out my career in investment banking as an analyst focusing on the forex and crypto sector. Through my role I came to learn of Zenfex Limited as a market leader in the sector and sought to join the company, I work in a fast-paced team that has very versatile responsibilities; primarily to find the best ways to deploy the company's capital with a long term perspective in mind. This leads to some very interesting questions, like thinking about what the world will look like in future which perharps the most stimulating part of my role. Facing up to these questions makes every day different, as they require judgement and a strategic mindset to anticipate changes in the industry. Zenfex Limited is a great environment to develop as you are in the fore-front of the industry, learning from the best in the business. When i'm not in the office I enjoy food and travelling.
