Summary
Peter Fraenkel is a distinguished technologist and seasoned architect with 13+ years driving large-scale quantitative risk management and analytics platforms for major investment banks. Currently an Executive Director at Morgan Stanley, he combines deep domain expertise in structured products and derivatives with hands-on software engineering and a PhD in Physics from Cornell. He has led global, cross-border teams and founded a fintech-focused engineering firm, yet prefers to stay coding rather than relinquish technical ownership. Peter is fascinated by new programming languages, data technologies and valuation methods, bringing a researcher’s curiosity to production-grade systems. Based in Montreal, he is equally comfortable designing analytical libraries as he is advising on distributed systems and pragmatic engineering trade-offs.
