Built from the inside out.
Pouthon sits at the intersection of two disciplines that rarely come together: the deep institutional expertise of those who built the systems global finance runs on, and the commercial experience to bring that capability to the firms that need it most.
Between us we cover every layer of what it takes, from model architecture and risk infrastructure to go-to-market strategy and client relationships. That combination is what makes Pouthon different.
Our founder served as Head of Markets Risk Technology at BNY Mellon in New York. Head of Counterparty Credit and Funding Risk Technology at Deutsche Bank in London. Head of Credit Correlation and Exotics Technology at Barclays Capital. Head of Exotics Risk Systems at EdF Trading.
He built the platforms that trading desks relied on to price, hedge, and manage risk across credit derivatives, interest rate products, energy derivatives, and commodity markets. He published his first paper on AI in financial markets in 2000, before it was fashionable, and has applied it to trading ever since.
Pouthon has built its own AI models for financial markets. We apply them alongside clients' investment expertise to develop systematic strategies and bring their edge to market, backed by the risk and engineering discipline Arthur built in institutional trading.
He understands what it means to have a model tested by real market conditions. What it costs when systems fail. What governance and audit requirements actually look like inside a regulated institution. What a portfolio manager needs to hear versus what an engineer needs to build.
In 2023 he founded Pouthon Technologies with one purpose: to give investment firms a faster, safer route from strategy idea to live systematic execution, without starting from a blank page.
The reason firms hire Pouthon.
Robust systematic strategies require a combination of skills: modeling and data science, hard-core technical engineering, and hands-on experience in the daily operations of a global trading business.
Arthur Rabatin has demonstrated this expertise at the senior leadership level, inside institutions that define global finance. He published his first paper on AI in FX trading in 2000. In addition to his technical expertise, he is highly familiar with regulatory reporting, compliance, and operational robustness of large trading books.
When you engage Pouthon you are not hiring a consultancy that will figure out your world. You are hiring someone who has already lived in it.
30 years building risk and trading technology at the senior leadership level inside EdF Trading, Barclays Capital, Deutsche Bank, and BNY Mellon. He built the systems that global trading desks relied on to price, hedge, and manage risk across credit derivatives, interest rate products, and commodity markets. Published his first paper on AI in trading in 2000. Pouthon is the result of three decades of work, applied to a very specific problem.
Dania leads the commercial side of Pouthon. With dual law degrees from Europe and New York and a career built at the intersection of commercial strategy and market expansion, she brings the rigor of legal training and the instincts of a builder to everything she does. At Pouthon she drives the relationships that turn Pouthon's work into real partnerships.
The methodology behind every Pouthon strategy was built against the reality of institutional markets, where being wrong has consequences, and where the difference between robust and fragile becomes immediately clear.
