Scott BerkoFounder · CEO

Scott has been involved in junior, mid-level and senior-level recruitment across the Risk Management and Quantitative community since 2004. Over the years that followed, he built a name across the surrounding Front-Office space as well as IT and Technology.

His career started shortly after Leeds University when he was asked to set up and run a Risk Management and Quantitative Finance business with only 12 months' experience. Years later, in 2013, he founded SJB Partners— a Risk Management, Quantitative, Finance, IT & Technology and Regulatory search platform.

    Discreet

    Confidential mandates handled with discretion. Nothing posted, nothing leaked.

    Every search begins with a market map, not an inbox.
