Prof. Dr. Thorsten Neumann:
“I love teaching and contributing to innovative work. Understanding and modelling how economies, markets and investors behave on the one hand, and building investment processes with people in order to exploit this understanding on the other hand, are the drivers of my work.
I am looking forward to joint work with Panthera’s cutting-edge team on innovative research and educational offerings but also to share minds with clients on how to make their investment processes capable of future challenges.”
Mag. Dr. Markus Schuller, MBA, MScFE:
“With his strong scientific background and a first-class track record of industry experience Thorsten further strengthens the private practice setting of Panthera specialists. Our industry is challenged by finding a competitive equilibrium between human intelligence and artificial intelligence in an ethical and sustainable way.
Thorsten is a prototypical fit for contributing to the search for this balance. It requires an meticulous approach to academic developments, the practical experience how to deploy those when dealing with market complexity and the caring eye of an educator to guide market participants on their learning paths when stepping up to that complexity.
I personally look forward to working with Thorsten on contributing to the calibration of this equilibrium.”
