A serial innovator and author and speaker focusing on artificial intelligence, Angelo’s unique insights into the rise of disruptive technologies and how they are reshaping investment management—new sources of return and new tools to measure and manage risk, realignment of the relationships between asset owners and asset managers, different composition and demographics of the workforce, and transformation of traditional business models—have revealed the future of beneficial investing. Angelo is the “dissident” columnist for Institutional Investor, where he had the most read opinion columns in 2017, and a former columnist for Chief Investment Officer. His column The Doctor Is In won the American Business Media’s 2016 Jesse H. Neal Award for best commentary.

He has over 25 years of experience in the institutional investment industry and holds a PhD in contemporary European philosophy from DePaul University.
