We are delighted to announce Oliver Cooke, Managing Director of North America, will be speaking at QuantMinds Americas. This industry-leading quant finance event will take place in Boston from September 9th to 11th, and will be co-located with RiskMinds Americas.

Attendees will hear about the latest breakthrough research, as well as the biggest issues facing the industry, from some of the world’s most revered quant thought-leaders.
Earlier this year, Oliver Cooke took part in the QuantMinds conference in Vienna; joining a panel discussion on diversity in quant finance, as well as leading a masterclass about the soft skills needed to excel in the industry. This September, Oliver has been invited back to moderate the much-anticipated panel , “What should we be teaching the next generation of quants?”. The panel will discuss the future of quant talent and skills, as well as exploring how quant modelling compares across different sectors.

I am hoping to glean some amazing insight from our world-class panel about what the next generation of quants will be focused on, and how up-and-coming quants can prepare themselves accordingly.”
