Education, investing, research and innovation
My academic career started at Princeton University in 1985, and landed at the University of Toronto in 1992 after a short but delightful stay at the California Institute of Technology.
Through the creation of Sigma Analysis & Management in 1999, the GGSJ Centre of Digital Management and Technology Innovation and Angelstar GmbH in 2018, I have always attempted to leave an application footprint of my academic activities, to assist companies and individuals address challenges and achieve their objectives.
