Bio
I hold a Ph.D. in Applied Economics from the Western Michigan University and an Executive Education in Artificial Intelligence from MIT. I also hold a dual bachelors degree in Mathematics and Economics. As a risk management professional, I am particularly fascinated with the benefits of Economics in providing a wider understanding of the business landscape, interpreting business problems and the possibilities Mathematics offers in solving these real world problems. As much as is practicable, every business problem can be formulated as a mathematical problem, and this brings with it unimaginable solutions. Being a Mathematician, Economist, Risk Management Professional with passion for and insights into Artificial Intelligence places me in a unique position to provide valuable insights and expertise in Risk Management.
I have dedicated interest in all matters of risk management, across all industries. My goal is to provide key insights into current issues and future developments in risk management, the role and application of artificial intelligence, efficient and effective risk management practices, and eliminate losses that could result from lapses in risk management. With fast-rising improvements in big data and technology across all industries, there are enormous opportunities for applying Artificial Intelligence across all risk management functions.
My experience spans the financial services sector, with over 5 years’ experience as a risk management professional in various roles; real estate sector, with 5 years’ experience, and hardware merchandising, with 7 years’ experience. My multifaceted experiences across different sectors have provided unique insights into risk management problems prevalent in each sector, as well as the opportunities to overcome these risks.
My interest in risk management was heightened following the Great Recession of 2007/2009. Significant lapses in risk management in the financial sector led to a crippling of a once vibrant global economy. Thankfully, as professionals, we know what went wrong and are actively working every second to avoid a repeat of the same errors. My interest in risk management motivated my current research in asset price bubbles (download link: http://ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/ijef/article/view/72960/0).
