WHY ENGAGE AN INDEPENDENT SPECIALIST
Beyond model output: experience in institutional investment decisions.
Technical validation is only part of the challenge. Investment models must also withstand real-world portfolio constraints, changing market regimes, governance scrutiny and implementation risk. My perspective combines quantitative economics, machine learning and more than two decades of institutional investment practice.
AI and investment model due diligence
Independent evaluation of predictive models, backtesting, overfitting, leakage, robustness, governance and investment implementation.
Senior specialist partnerships
External quantitative and AI expertise for consulting firms, Big Four advisory teams, institutional investors and complex client mandates.
Macro intelligence and executive communication
Institutional macro perspectives, scenario analysis and MacroNav's multilingual, white-label investment intelligence formats.
WHO I WORK WITH
Expertise for institutions and advisory leaders.
Available for scoped independent assessments, specialist project partnerships, strategic advisory and selected senior leadership or executive engagements, including remote mandates worldwide. Relevant counterparties include banks, asset managers, pension funds, family offices, Big Four and specialist consulting firms, and executive-search partners seeking a proven quantitative investment and AI profile.
