Jose Filho is a Ph.D. economist and finance specialist with 11+ years of experience building quantitative macro and fixed-income strategies for banks, hedge funds, and asset managers. He has led economic research teams and created widely used exchange-rate and term-structure models at Deutsche Bank and Kadima, and now runs LeadToGold where he combines credit sourcing, structuring and compliance to package discounted credits into bonds. As a former professor at FGV and a University of Chicago-trained econometrician, he blends deep academic rigor with hands-on trading and product execution across emerging markets, especially Brazil. Unusually for a senior economist, his background includes early-career software and Java development, informing his aptitude for designing statistical models and practical back-office systems. Based in Greenwich, CT, he is known for turning complex macro and credit problems into straightforward, implementable solutions.
