Steve founded Red Beard Consulting after leaving the Hong Kong hedge fund industry in 2016. His experiences in Asian capital markets led to a new theory of price discovery, focusing on quantifying the impact of technology and market design on liquidity and trading outcomes in international capital markets.
Funded by NASDAQ, Steve’s PhD presented a market microstructure theory that utilised cloud computing to generate real-time market efficiency metrics and accurate price predictions in fragmented market environments.
Through Red Beard Consulting, Steve consults for both listed and unlisted organisations in sectors including capital markets, credit markets, electronic trading, blockchain, tech, and property. He also facilitates corporate training with Akkodis AI Academy to upskill executive teams in the financial, government, and regulatory-related sectors on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
