Chris Huson is an experienced mathematics educator and school leader whose career bridges urban classrooms and high-stakes finance. After over a decade transforming math instruction at an IB high school in the South Bronx, he now teaches in an international school on the Upper East Side while completing a Ph.D. in Mathematics Education at Teachers College, Columbia. His earlier Wall Street tenure included senior roles in derivatives and risk at UBS, JP Morgan, Santander and O'Connor, where he led quantitative teams and trading desks. He founded and chaired a successful Waldorf preschool in Manhattan, guiding it from concept to a thriving program of 100+ students and 20 staff. Comfortable translating complex quantitative concepts for diverse learners, Chris combines classroom pedagogy with deep practical experience in financial modeling and risk. He is based in New York and brings a rare mix of academic training, executive finance background, and hands-on school-building experience.
