Since opening our first EMEA office in 2005, Balyasny’s presence in the region has grown into a major hub. As Seb de Boe, Partner and Head of EMEA Equities, describes: “We used to be a satellite for our U.S. business. Today, we’re a true regional powerhouse.”

We spoke with leaders in EMEA to understand how that team has grown while maintaining Balyasny’s culture founded on partnership.

Growth and diversification

The offices in the EMEA now have more than 600 people as of November 1st, reflecting BAM’s ongoing expansion and commitment to the region. This group includes local technology and support professionals, alongside EMEA-based investing talent. “The business has expanded in breadth and depth over the years,” says Seb.

Culture of partnership

BAM’s “follow the sun” operational strategy means that teams in Asia, Europe, and the U.S. work together to ensure seamless handoffs and continuous coverage. Employees benefit from connectivity, both within local offices and across regions, fostering a culture of partnership and shared success. “BAM provides an environment of connectivity,” says Max Zaraisky, a Partner and Portfolio Manager in our Commodities business, “you’re embedded within the ecosystem.”
