What happens when AI rewires the workflows of modern finance? Bin Ren, founder and CEO of SigTech, explains how artificial intelligence is transforming how financial institutions design, test, and execute investment strategies, and why the future of finance depends on smarter, faster, and more adaptive ways of working.
Before founding SigTech at the start of 2019, Ren was the Chief Investment Officer of the Systematic Investment Group (SIG) at Brevan Howard Asset Management where he managed multiple quantitative investment funds. He started his career at Barclays Capital as an equity exotics trader managing quantitative investment strategies across all major asset classes. Before university, Ren skipped two grades in school and won three first prizes in the Chinese National Olympiads. After earning a Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering at the national gifted education program of Shanghai Jiaotong University, Ren was directly admitted with full scholarship to the PhD program for computer science at Cambridge University, UK. While there he researched Xen which was chosen by Amazon as the cornerstone of the world’s first cloud-computing platform AWS that generates over $100 billion annual revenue 20 years later.
