About Gael

Hi, I am Gael, founder of Quantik.org and a lifelong student of financial risk.

I have spent over 15 years working in risk management and quantitative finance, helping investment teams make smarter, data-driven decisions. My passion lies in turning complex models and analytics into practical insights that truly support strategy and performance.

I currently serve as a risk executive in the investment management industry, where I work closely with investment teams to design and maintain risk frameworks that keep portfolios robust and adaptable. Before that, I led risk functions within the hedge fund industry, experiences that shaped my understanding of both the analytical and human sides of risk.

Along the way, I have developed a deep interest in how data, technology, and financial theory can come together to make risk management more transparent and engaging. That is what inspired me to create Quantik.org, a platform where advanced risk modelling and financial research are made accessible to a wider audience. Quantik is about bridging the gap between theory and practice, and about sharing knowledge that empowers professionals, students, and curious minds alike.

I hold a Master’s in Finance from Cass Business School in London and a Master’s in Economics from the Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management, along with a Bachelor’s in Economics from ULB.

When I am not exploring new risk models or data tools, you’ll likely find me reading about behavioural finance, experimenting with code, or discussing how we can make finance a little more human.
