The Australian Maths Trust (AMT) is pleased to announce a continuation of their partnership with Optiver, a leading tech driven trading firm. Optiver will continue to partner with the AMT to support the Olympiad program for the next five (5) years.
Mark Barnes, Director of Olympiads and Pathways at the AMT, looks forward to continuing to work with the team at Optiver.
“It is exciting to continue our relationship with Optiver – they have been a strong supporter of the AMT for a number of years, and several Olympiad alumni have transitioned into key roles at Optiver. This partnership highlights the opportunities available to students and program staff, and we look forward to continuing this into the future.”
Optiver’s Head of Recruitment (APAC) John Rogan has a similar view.
“The Australian Maths Trust embodies the qualities we value most in a partner: a deep commitment to problem-solving, a proven track record of elevating mathematical and computational talent across Australia, and a strong culture of integrity and continuous improvement. Through our continued partnership with AMT, we’re proud to help create meaningful pathways for young mathematicians to challenge themselves and excel, while also supporting initiatives such as the Australian Girls’ Maths and Informatics teams to broaden access and opportunity at the highest levels of competition. Together, we’re investing in the future of problem solvers who will shape tomorrow’s world.”
New AMT CEO Mat Meriaux looks forward to continuing the relationship.
“As AMT enters a period of strategic review in 2026, it’s very comforting to know that we have the support of our long-term partners Optiver as we look to the future. Optiver has supported the Australian Olympiad program for many years, and this new agreement solidifies what has been one of the enduring and productive relationships of the Trust.”
