Speaker Bio
I am a seasoned hedge fund executive with 25 years of buy-side experience. I recently joined LeverData as Chairman of its Advisory Board. LeverData is New York City-based financial technology company that provides data ingestion, validation, and ongoing management solutions for corporations and financial services firms. LeverData solves the data reliability problem through its proprietary platform and robust data management services.

Prior to joining LeverData, I oversaw the global day-to-day operations of WorldQuant, including the execution of strategic business and capital development initiatives. Prior to joining the firm in 2014, I was Chief Operating Officer, Chief Compliance Officer and Head of Investor Relations at Elm Ridge Capital and before that served as Chief Operating Officer at Credit Suisse Alternative Asset Management. I began my career at Bell Communications Research and hold a patent for an object-oriented system used to manage complex financial instruments.

Away from my professional life, my philanthropic efforts focus on Bronxworks, where I serve on the board of directors, and my alma mater, the Massachussets Institute of Technology (MIT), where I sit on the advisory board of the Institute for Data, Systems and Society.
