About me

Ken created the Risk department at Och Ziff and served as Chief Risk Officer for nearly 14 years. He defined the Risk Manager’s objective as being a proactive provider of insight into the portfolio, the markets and trader behavior, not as someone who measures and monitors in retrospect. He pioneered the integration of quantitative techniques into the fundamental investing style, anticipating the “quantamental” revolution. More recently, Ken has been actively involved in deepening the understanding of the proper role of Artificial Intelligence in Finance.
