About Jack Kandell

I am currently a market risk analyst specializing in renewable energy and natural gas trading. I leverage my strong academic foundation from Tulane University, where I earned a Master’s of Management of Energy and a Bachelor’s in Finance. As a Risk Control Analyst at ENGIE North America, I specialize in risk management, renewable asset modeling in ETRM systems, interest rate analysis, and market monitoring. I am proficient in using data visualization tools like Power BI as well as technical tools such as Microsoft Excel, VBA, SQL Server, and Oracle databases. My passion for sustainable energy initiatives and my commitment to data-driven strategies drive my professional endeavors. I have gained experience in commodity trading and market fundamentals for natural gas, power, and renewable energy. Prior to this role, I was an intern at Hancock Whitney working as a Bank Secrecy Act Analyst where I honed my ability to analyze complex financial transactions and ensure regulatory compliance. This role equipped me with skills in identifying suspicious activities, conducting thorough investigations, and implementing effective risk mitigation strategies. I also worked as an analyst for Burkenroad Reports, a securities analysis course at Tulane University, where I conducted in-depth financial analysis while modeling future cash flows for Callon Petroleum. I am eager to connect with professionals and explore new opportunities in market risk management, energy finance, and trading.
