Investment Management Innovator | Quantamental Thinker | Team Leader | AuthorI've always been fascinated by the intersection of data and human insight in investment management. This passion led me to a career focused on identifying talent and developing it to generate attractive long/short equity returns using innovative quantamental approaches.Currently, I lead Greener Pastures, a buy-side investment advisory practice that helps firms improve talent management, professional development and research management. I've designed training tools, compensation models, and career frameworks that help attract and retain top professionals in the hedge fund industry. The best firms use data to inform investment decisions. Our team identifies data resources and develops tools to optimize both process and performance. Previously, as Head of Professional Development and Director of Research at Point72 Asset Management, I had the privilege of hiring and mentoring hundreds of analysts and PMs. One of my proudest achievements was creating Idea Lab, a 24-person incubator team that integrated data science, ML, and analytics into the research process. Then as Director of Research at Cinctive Capital, I worked collaboratively to put talent, processes and tools in place before day 1 that supported growth to over $1 billion.My Substack, "The Long and The Short of It," provides insights for investors, rising talent and industry leaders on everyday hedge fund challenges like improving process, working with data, leading a team and just getting better at your job. It's my way of contributing to the broader conversation in our field and helping others. Key areas of expertise: • Talent Management • Professional Development • Research Management • Investment Process OptimizationLooking ahead, I'm excited about the potential of AI to further transform long/short investing.
