About
Dear Wall Street Careers
Over the last two decades, I’ve led global trading operations, built risk frameworks for some of the world’s largest commodity houses, and helped design the systems that now underpin modern energy markets. From Glencore and Gunvor to VAKT — the world’s first blockchain post-trade platform I co-founded — my work has always sat where operations meet transformation.
As Chief Operating Officer of Gunvor Group, I managed multi-billion-dollar operations and 180+ staff across Geneva, Singapore, and Houston, integrating technology and governance through turbulent market cycles. Earlier at Glencore, I led business change across the Oil Division, designing and deploying its global operating model — an experience that taught me how to translate strategy into scalable infrastructure under pressure.
In recent years, through MacroShifu, a private commodities and digital-infrastructure initiative, I’ve continued to explore how technology can unlock efficiency and liquidity in physical markets. What began as a personal project evolved into a bridge between traditional energy systems and digital asset infrastructure — a “hobby-turned-project” that kept me close to the pulse of commodity innovation.
Across every role, my focus has been consistent: to build organisations that run cleaner, faster, and smarter — where commercial performance is matched by operational discipline. I bring not only deep commodity experience but also a pragmatic understanding of how data, risk, and technology reshape market advantage.
I would welcome the opportunity to contribute that blend of experience and forward thinking to your team.
Thank you for considering my application. I’d be pleased to discuss how my background and approach could add value to your organisation’s next phase of growth.
Kind regards,
Eren Elvis Zekioglu
