Who am I?
Good question! I am honestly not sure what to write about me. The bio I use says,
Karen Rubin has spent the past 10 years building products and managing product development teams. She is currently on the product team at Quantopian, where we are building the world’s first algorithmic trading platform in the cloud. She is currently focused on a new IPython Research Platform that will allow quants to access curated financial data in an interactive research environment.
Before coming to Quantopian, Karen spent time working on the investing team at Matrix Partners where she helped evaluate potential investments and supported portfolio companies. She also spent 5 years on the product team at HubSpot, where she was responsible for building the first version of many of their inbound marketing tools.
Prior to HubSpot, she spent 5 years managing publishing development projects for clients such as NBC, iVillage.com, TheStreet.com, Stockpickr.com and GiftCertificates.com.
What that doesn't tell you is that I am completely passionate about work and having fun while doing it. I am also a little crazy and have very little filter, if I think it, I generally say it. I love running, reading, eating and cooking.
