The Evan Reich Episode

About this episode

Mark Fleming-Williams interviews Evan Reich about the alternative data space and its evolving landscape.

In this episode I speak to Evan Reich, a veteran of the alt data space who has worked at Millennium, SAC Capital, Quandl and most recently Verition in various data roles. In our conversation Evan and I discuss a wide range of topics from how to hire a good data sourcer, to which data types are overrated, to whether exclusivity is a thing in the data market, to which jobs AI will erase first in our space. In the podcast we mention Evan’s excellent conversation on Matei Zatreanu’s System2 podcast, which you should also check out if you like this one.
