Summary
Victor Mitchell is a Quantitative Analyst with eight years of experience applying statistical methods, time-series analysis, and optimization to asset management and trading problems. He has built bespoke risk models and ESG alpha signals at APG Asset Management, led portfolio-constraint optimization work, and now applies his quant skills at Smartodds. His background spans a methodical MSc in Statistics from the University of Geneva and an interdisciplinary BSc in Economics and Management of Information, reflecting fluency in both rigorous modeling and practical implementation (Python/R, backtests, R Shiny).
