Helena Doná Head of Data Science & AI Jefferies

About
With over 15 years of experience in data science, analytics, and investment banking, I am a leading finance professional driving business transformation and innovation through data and AI. As the Chief Analytics Officer at Bridge Insight, I work with investment banks, asset and wealth managers, VC firms, and private equity firms on their digital transformation journeys. My role involves designing and building analytical products to answer complex questions and creating bespoke solutions that help our clients drive revenue and grow their businesses. Our projects range from providing prospecting insights to full deal involvement.
Before joining Bridge Insight, I was a key decision-maker at J.P. Morgan’s Digital Investment Bank, where I led all data analytics and data science efforts for the investment bank. I designed and developed state-of-the-art data science, analytics, and machine learning techniques that leveraged J.P. Morgan’s unique data assets to optimize business decisions across the Global Investment Bank. I led a global team of diverse data scientists and analysts in New York and London, delivering data-driven insights and solutions for Equity Capital Markets, Debt Capital Markets, and M&A.
I have a deep understanding of the global financial markets and their relation to the global economy, and I am passionate about extracting valuable insights and driving innovation. My skills include leading complex projects, collaborating with senior stakeholders, and empowering my team to achieve exceptional results. At Bridge Insight, we combine decades of Tier 1 investment banking and analytics expertise to deliver data-driven insights that help you and your clients make better decisions.
