Originally hailing from Toronto, William has always dreamed of being a university professor. However, after finishing his PhD and working as a postdoctoral researcher at two universities, he quickly realized a career in academia was not as accessible as he had hoped.
Will had to adapt his skills and target opportunities that would make use of his education, experience and passion for mathematics. Quantitative Equity Analysis felt like a natural shift for the young researcher. Will’s career change landed him at NumerixS where he spends his days solving complex mathematical problems in a collegial and academic atmosphere. The exact place where Will feels most comfortable.
When Will isn’t trying to solve some challenging conjecture or hypothesis, he can be found binging Netflix and stepping out for the occasional hike. And in the event that Will is nowhere to be found, you can expect him back in a few days. He loves a good road trip.
Tobias’ passion for mathematics began at an early age in a small German town near Madgeburg, where he attended a target school for Math and Sciences. Tobias was a high school academic competitor and boasts success on the national level. After graduating from high school, he left Germany to explore the world. Math and Science were his calling but he wasn’t sure yet how to translate it into a career.
Tobias completed his M.Sc in Mathematics at Oxford and a postdoc at UBC here in Vancouver. Most recently he completed his PhD in Mathematics from Warwick University.
The beautiful weather and mountain terrain drew Tobias to Vancouver. Whether it’s a day of climbing, skiing or hiking, Tobias is a certified Westcoaster.
Cheryl Slusarchuk serves as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Legal Officer, and Chief Compliance Officer of NumerixS, a technology-driven investment firm that develops quantitative trading strategies grounded in the scientific method, applied research, machine learning, and large-scale data analysis. In this combined role, she directs the firm’s business strategy and operations while overseeing its legal, regulatory, and compliance functions across the jurisdictions in which the firm operates.
Cheryl began her career in technology as a programmer before pursuing law at McGill University in Montreal. She subsequently practiced law in Australia, the United States, including advising on the public listing of a $1 billion company in the mid-1990s, and Canada. She holds a law degree from McGill University and a J.D. from Chicago-Kent College of Law and is admitted to the State of Colorado Bar. Cheryl’s combined background in commerce, computer science, and law supports her ability to align NumerixS’s scientific teams with the governance and regulatory requirements of an investment firm.
Cheryl served as Chair of the Board of Science World, having previously served as Vice-Chair and board member. She has also served as a board member of the BC Innovation Council and BCTech, and as President of the Premier’s Tech Council. She has been recognized with various awards including L’Expert Canada’s “40 Under 40” award.
Lisa grew up in Montreal before coming to Vancouver to attend the University of BC where she obtained a BA in English Literature. She went on to pursue advanced studies in accounting and finance, eventually articling with KPMG and earning a CPA.CA designation.
After many years of working with some of Vancouver’s largest public companies in the forestry, mining and financial services industries, Lisa switched gears and joined a small start-up company in the space industry. It was there that she first met Cheryl, while working on the acquisition of a foreign satellite company.
When not in a global pandemic, Lisa enjoys travelling to Europe, where she immerses herself in the art and culture and pretends to be a local (until she opens her mouth). She also enjoys reading, watercolour painting, and walks and bike rides on the seawall.
