David Schwartz
I am the Managing Director of Derivative Products Risk Advisors, Inc. For the past 10+ years, I have been a capital and derivative markets financial model and risk management consultant. I both review and assist in the theory, development, and implementation of mathematical valuation, sensitivities, and risk models. My competitive advantage and real value-added is my ability and successful experience in reporting to senior management concise, understandable summaries highlighting actionable issues and areas of likely concern.
I studied capital markets, option valuation, and mathematical finance at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business in the early 1980s and started working on Wall Street in 1986.
