About Nick Stovall-Kurtz
Leading the operations of a nuclear submarine involves: an incredible amount of risk quick decision making using incomplete information life-or-death attention to detail technical expertise derived from a strong quantitative foundation in engineering and physics. I am looking to bring these skills to the quantitative trading space in May of 2026.
