�� other site of work. The bank management accepted my request with understanding and I was transferred to Department of the Global Stock trading and Investment Tools. Besides my portfolio management tasks, I started to develop the trade strategy in world stock exchange markets, based onmathematical and statistical models for multi-billion hedge funds. Wall Street passed to completely electronic auction, in view of preference with a set of the companies of the electronic auction to replace traditional, I was asked to head management of development of the Global Algorithmic Trading Platform in real time. After year of development and work in the test mode, the Global Electronic Platform under my management has been started inNew York, and within the next 9 months it was expanded on global offices of BNP Paribas, such as London, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Paris. Wall Street switched to the completely electronic auction, due to the fact that the preferences were presented in the form of electronic trading in place of the traditional, so I was asked to lead the development management of the Global Algorithmic Trading Platform in real time. After one year of development and testingbeta version, Global Electronic Platformwas launched in New York,and during the next 9 months, this platformwas expanded in global BNP Paribas offices in London, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Paris. After such an intense project, I began to look for other opportunities for myself. Since I am a very ambitious person, andconsidering the fact that it's not easy to grow in American large corporations, I began to look for smaller, but more dynamic companies. So, a few years later, I accepted the offer to take the post of Chief Operating Officer (Chief Operating Officer) at Kissell Research Group, which specialized in developing and modeling mathematical trading strategies on world stock markets. It was such a boutique company that allowed me to engage in very interesting projects, and assemble the best team of employees, including mathematicians and programmers. Sometime later, representatives of the USGovernment contacted me through the LinkedIn, and wanted to develop a situational model of the stock market. At that time, the Department of Treasury, the USGovernment was in search of a team that can realize this task. They were interested inmy consultations and suggestions aboutoptimizing this process, so they contacted me, and we started work. The government invited me personally as a specialist, I had to register my company and start my private business. The team of my developers believed inme and became interested in working on this project. And that is how story of my company began,, my technology companyMuzanGroup, specializing in the development of algorithms, artificial intelligence, intellectual analytics and corporate systems for various industries in the public and private sectors. In this segment, at that time such companies as Thomson Reuters and Bloomberg were serious players, and of course for me it was a great challenge, pride and great responsibility that it was me and my company who were chosen for this project. My company already exists in the market for 5 years, we advise and serve companies, government funds and institutions in the US and Europe. One of the clients is also the Department of the US Treasury for the implementation and regulation of the Dodd- Frank law, which was signed by President Barack Obama to prevent another global financial crisis of 2008. The main tasks of the company are to help the US government to identify potential manipulations in the exchange markets. Many key points of the law were adapted by the European Union in MiFIDII, which will take effect from January 2018. Moreover, I give advises in economics, mathematical modeling, risk management and business strategy. Now there are no calls, companies conduct operations using algorithms and special software, which, based on the available analytics, statistical data, mathematical models, gives out a ready chart when to enter the market, howmuch to buy and when to go out. What does it mean? That we live in an age of great changes. Therefore now, young people need to learn constantly, "standing still" is no longer possible. The information society, where we live now, makes one of the important qualities for a person - networking. Accordingly, at present, it is necessary to develop "communication skills". Correctly formed communications allow you to strengthen your circle of friends and partners, as well as develop your own business. In the US, business is "on the advice", especially it is relevant for service businesses and services. Secondly, what is very important is that you need to closely monitor trends and move forward as well as your industry. For example, most recently I finished to study computer engineering and IT. To develop IT skills for me became very relevant, as I already said, the stock market has now become very technological. When I started working with modeling, I realized that - I can develop economic and financial models, I have ideas, but I do not have IT kills. I cannot program this model. And even if I have strong programmers on the team, then I cannot properly evaluate their work, I cannot check whether the model is optimized. I could not test the work of my IT engineers and therefore I went to study. At the University, in the IT course, students were younger thanme, but it's nothing to worry about. The main thing is that I got this important knowledge. So, I think young people need to be ambitious and constantly work on themselves, upgrade their skills and gainmore experience. Dayana, you came to Kazakhstan, what are your plans here? What are the prospects in Kazakhstan for your business? Dayana: I came to Kazakhstan in 2011. Then I planned to start developing in Kazakhstan the same algorithms that I created in the US. But, at that time, there was no interests from the Kazakh companies and government. But now, after 6 years, I see that in our country there are big plans to develop the stock market and to attract new technologies to this industry. And of course, I can help with transfer advanced American and European experience. In America, I have been living for 15 years, I am a US citizen. But Kazakhstan is my country that brought me up. And of course, I'mwholeheartedly for Kazakhstan. And I really want to see my country developed and competitive in the global economy. The history of my business, my company began spontaneously and indeterminately. When I went to America, I thought that now I will get a foreign education, return to Kazakhstan and everything will be fine. At the beginning of the noughties, foreign education was the dream for many people.There was not even a thought that I could find job in the US, work in the best companies and then create my own business and work with the US government. I did not even dream about it. Dayan, tell me please, what qualities are necessary for a young people to succeed in America and in stock market which is now quite complex and saturated with information and technology? Dayana: You know, I recently met with students of the Nazarbayev University. We discussed this issue much. Inmy industry, I have been working on the stock market for more than 13 years, there is serious technological changes annually. Before, all the trades used to deal through the phone calls. That is it, you call the broker and he carries out certain transactions. THE RESULT OF OUR LIFE IS THE RESULT OF OUR OWN BUSINESS �� / �� 2017 / 25
