OptionMetrics Announces New Leadership Structure to Reflect Company Growth
OptionMetrics,
an options database and analytics provider for institutional and retail
investors and academic researchers, has restructured its management
leadership as it continues to expand into new markets. David J. Hait,
Ph.D., founder of OptionMetrics, formerly President of the company, is
now Chief Executive Officer. Eran Steinberg, formerly Vice President of
Sales and Marketing at OptionMetrics, now serves as Chief Operating
Officer and Chief of Staff. Garrett DeSimone, Ph.D., also recently
joined the team as Head of Quantitative Research.
Hait says the company is restructuring its leadership
to better meet the needs of the marketplace and to continue driving
growth among hedge funds, portfolio and asset managers, equity options
traders, banks, pension funds, and family offices in the U.S. and abroad.
"These management changes reflect OptionMetrics' strategic direction. We
have grown our client base and staff, and have structured our team to
align with that growth and our commitment to providing the gold standard
in historical option pricing," says Hait. "Since joining us in 2015,
Eran has been instrumental in creating brand awareness and greater
market penetration. Our new resident quant, Garrett, is extremely
talented at producing valuable options research, as well as breaking
down complex nvestment strategies."
As Head of Quantitative Research at OptionMetrics, DeSimone is
developing empirical research focused on derivative pricing and
macroeconomics. He graduated with his Ph.D. in financial economics from
the University of Delaware, where he served as an adjunct lecturer in
finance and economics. He earned an M.S. in economics and applied
econometrics from the University of Delaware, and a B.S. in mathematics
from the University of Maryland-Baltimore County.
