The intersection of industrials, financial data and intelligence is at the core of his persona.

Most recently, he worked for Vista Equity-owned 7 Park Data, where he was ranked by upper management in the top 1% of the company’s employees. He served as a quantitative analyst serving financial predictions for customers such as Citadel, Tiger, Point72. He leveraged primary and secondary data to forecast top line of consumer and industrial stocks.

Before he committed to Datavations full-time, Philip built his own machine learning model for industrial and consumer stocks, successfully predicting the revenues prior to earnings reports within 1% five quarters in a row. To save money, he built the infra used for this technology utilizing Raspberry Pis, which he stored in the basement to keep them cold. He used this prototype to raise an initial round of funding for Datavations and turned down offers to be aqua-hired by a quantitative hedge fund to instead help Fortune 500 industrial manufacturers optimize their businesses with a data driven approach.
