Cambridge Wide Open Day: An opportunity to engage and connect with the Cambridge entrepreneurial community

My research interests include strategic interactions between stakeholders in supply chains and socially responsible operations. I’m a strong proponent of practice-based research and through collaborations with Intel Corporation, Stanford University Medical Center and others, I’ve combined my academic interests with firms’ needs to deliver insights for both communities.

My research interests include the intersection of finance, technology, and regulation, fintech, asset pricing, data, digital technologies, and the design of automated financial markets. I previously served as Chief Economist of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), where I used modern analytical tools and methods to design and enforce an effective regulatory regime of financial markets.

My research interests include business analytics and data-driven decision-making processes, technology and R&D management. I’ve worked closely on research projects with numerous executives from the biopharmaceutical industry, both in large pharmaceutical organisations and small biotech companies.

Hunter’s research interests are in digital payments, financial inclusion, open banking and more broadly frontier market investing. Prior to joining the Centre, Hunter worked in the finance industry, beginning his career in corporate banking in the United States, later transitioning to Rwanda to facilitate a turnaround plan and digital transformation strategy at a microfinance bank as Head of Credit. This included the implementation of a USSD-enabled digital payments platform enabling the disbursement and collection of credit via an agent network to 200,000+ clients across the country. Hunter holds an MBA from the University of Cambridge with a Concentration in Finance.

My research and corporate engagements are related to product and business model innovation, incentive design, supply chains, manufacturing, service operations, technology, and their impacts on societal outcomes.
