#27: Peter Borish - PrimeAlpha Visionaries & Innovators Series: Staying Intellectually Sharp

Staying Intellectually Sharp with Peter Borish.

Welcome to PrimeAlpha's interview series where we will share insights from industry practitioners discussing their journey and their discoveries. I have the pleasure of having Peter Borish with us today. Since starting his career at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Peter has been at the intersection of technology, financial markets, and innovation. He called the 1987 market crash and coupled with his appointment to the Brady Commission, fostered his commitment to public policy and non-profits. He was recruited by Paul Tudor Jones, where Peter helped build Tudor Investments into a leading global macro hedge fund. In addition to his hedge fund businesses, which he continues today at Computer Trading Corporation, Peter has been an angel investor in startup technology companies, including Majestic Research, Quadro Serve, One Chicago, and Charity Buzz. He mentors young entrepreneurs as an advisory board member of Value Stream Ventures. He is also a founding trustee of the Robin hood foundation, which helps raise families out of poverty in New York City. And Peter was recently appointed to the Market Risk Advisory Committee of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission.
