I have a friend who has worked in financial services and management consulting for 8 years. He's got a lot of really valuable skills and experience in running quantitative analysis, building presentations, and managing teams, but now he's looking for something more interesting.

It seems to me that there are a bunch of early to mid-stage startups in financial services (e.g., banksimple, LendingClub, Mint before it was acquired) that probably have a need for somebody with his skills. Are you one of those startups? Or, if you had those kind of skills, what sort of companies would you be looking at?

I figure this is worthy of being an Ask HN as there are lots of non-technical types who read HN these days and are interested in breaking into startupland, but might not be aware that there's a need for people with more than just coding skills.
