About the speaker:
Partha has a passion for solving complex business problems using quantitative methods, data mining and pattern recognition. For a period of about 12 years from 1995 to 2007, Partha pursued this passion as a hobby and developed about 100 algorithms and over 700 quantitative models. These algorithms and models are the basis for the solutions being implemented by Fuzzy Logix today.
Before founding Fuzzy Logix, Partha worked at Bank of America where he held senior management positions in the commercial and investment bank and in the portfolio strategies group. Partha led the initiative to build a quantitative model driven credit rating methodology for the entire commercial loan portfolio in the commercial and investment bank. The methodology is used by the bank for allocating reserves against potential losses from loans. In the portfolio strategies group, Partha led a team to devise various strategies for effectively hedging the credit risk for the bank’s commercial loan portfolio and for minimizing the impact of mark-to-market volatility of the portfolio of hedging instruments (Credit Default Swaps, Credit Default Swaptions, and CDS Indexes).
Partha was also responsible for managing the Quantitative Management Associate Program at Bank of America. This is a two-year associate development program which has groomed over 75 quantitative managers within the enterprise.
Prior to working at Bank of America, Partha held managerial positions at Ernst and Young and Tata Consultancy Services. Partha is an alumnus of IIT Roorkie with a major in Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics. Partha got his MBA from Wake Forest University.
