Vinesh Jha
Vinesh Jha is the founder and CEO of ExtractAlpha, an independent alternative-data research firm that turns messy datasets into tradable signals for hedge funds and institutional investors. A pure-mathematician-turned-quant, he cut his teeth ranking Wall Street analysts at StarMine, built systematic strategies at Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and PDT Partners, then went out on his own in 2013. After ExtractAlpha merged with the crowdsourced-estimates platform Estimize in 2021, he runs both, leading a team spread across Hong Kong, the US, Europe, and Canada with a near-religious insistence on rigorous, point-in-time testing over a good story.
Tony Mackenzie
Tony Mackenzie is the Co-Founder and CEO of Jacobi, a San Francisco-based investment technology platform he built after watching the world's largest institutional investors still manage portfolio processes in spreadsheets. Drawing on a PhD in Applied Mathematics and a career managing over $45 billion in assets at QIC, he co-founded Jacobi in 2014 to modernize multi-asset portfolio design, analytics, and client engagement. Today the platform serves clients including T. Rowe Price, Franklin Templeton, and LGIM, representing over $7 trillion in assets under management, and has raised $27.6 million in total funding.
