Specialist consulting for market professionals

Think better.
Decide better.
Execute better.

Rfactory helps market professionals improve how they think, decide and execute.

Our work combines systems and technology advisory with performance psychology for traders, investors and decision-makers operating under pressure.

Who we work with

Trading businesses, hedge funds, family offices, commodity and hedging organisations, portfolio professionals and serious individual clients.

  • Systems, workflow and AI advisory

  • Performance coaching, workshops and on-site sessions

  • Trading, investing and other high-pressure decision environments

Two sides of performance. Both matter.

Most performance problems do not sit neatly in one box.
Better tools help. Better execution matters. The best results need both.

Technology, Systems & AI

We help clients review, improve and develop trading and investment processes, from discretionary frameworks to systematic strategies, automation workflows and AI-enabled research or decision support.

  • Trading system and process review

  • Research workflow design

  • Automation and tooling advisory

  • AI for traders, analysts and investment teams

  • Workshops and strategic advisory

Human Performance & Mindset

We help traders, investors and decision-makers improve execution quality under pressure, individually and at team level. This includes coaching, workshops and practical work around discipline, confidence, resilience and consistency.

  • One-to-one performance coaching

  • One-to-one therapeutic coaching

  • Group workshops for teams

  • On-site sessions for firms

  • Support for traders, PMs, analysts and executives

Who we help

Trading Firms

Support for trading teams looking to improve systems, process, execution and performance at both individual and team level.

Funds and Family Offices

Sharper decision processes, stronger research workflows and more consistent execution discipline.

Commodity and Hedging Businesses

Support for market analysis, forecasting and hedging environments where decision quality has direct commercial impact.

Why Rfactory

Rfactory combines two disciplines that are usually separated. On one side is systems thinking, trading technology and process design. On the other is the human side of performance, where pressure, hesitation, over-control and inconsistency erode results even when the technical work is sound.

That combination matters because real-world performance depends on both.

Jeff Boccaccio

Jeff's background spans over 25 years of financial-sector technology, trading and systematic strategy development. He began working for Deloitte Consulting, UBS and Barclays Capital before focusing full time on trading, system development and market research.

He sits on the board of the STA where he is also Chairman of the Investment Committee and hosts the Tools of the Trade podcast, where he has interviewed some of the most respected names in trading and system development.

Sonal Darbar

Sonal works with traders and fund managers on the part of trading that most education ignores: the mental and emotional side of execution.

She is a performance consultant who has worked with serious traders for years, helping them close the gap between what they know and what they actually do under pressure. She is an active trader herself, which means she understands the specific challenges from the inside.

Her clients include senior wealth managers, prop traders, fund managers and executives. They don't typically advertise that they work with a performance coach, which is what makes the recommendations she has received genuinely meaningful.
