MEET OUR TEAM
ROBERT
Robert spent the earlier part of his career developing the skills to become an entrepreneur in several businesses including one which was finding markets for cryogenically ground tire rubber which lead to the recycling of over 5 million tires. This experience led to his first entrepreneurial venture which was the cryogenically recycling of plastic for use in automotive acoustic products. Over the next 10 years, close to 1 billion pounds of plastic was prevented from going to landfills and put to good use. He was reminded of the following phrase by Warren Buffett and started on his path to learn to be an investor.
"I am a better investor because I am a businessman, and I am a better businessman because I am an investor."
He wanted to know what it would take to build a hedge fund that would be able to make annual returns independent of Macro/Market timing. This led to him making investments in several hedge funds including a value oriented hedge fund. He refined his investment strategies over the past 2 years when he set about building the team for the start-up of DeepAim Technologies.
MICHAEL
Michael met Robert at a workshop called “Optimization and Artificial Intelligence in Finance” at the Fields Institute at the University of Toronto. Michael had a fascination with numbers from an early age which lead him to completing his Ph.D. in Statistics. It was his research focus on Market Volatility that he discovered a love for the workings of the stock markets. He bonded with Robert over how his experience in designing and building models could be applied to Robert’s investment and trading strategies. Michael is looking forward to leading the model development team and applying his research skills to come up with new and innovative investment and trading strategies.
