PivotalPath, a technology-driven investment consultant, has added Josh Vogelstein, a big data and machine learning expert within the fields of neuroscience, statistics and computer science, to the firm’s advisory board. 

Borrowing tools from experimental and computing technologies, Vogelstein is furthering PivotalPath’s efforts in the transformation of alternative investment analysis. 
 
The advisory board will continue to influence PivotalPath’s multi-disciplinary academic underpinnings and actively improve the ability to convert qualitative judgement into proprietary quantitative analysis, achieving the firm’s mission to provide better intelligence for better due diligence.
 
“Joshua brings a strong academic background and unique knowledge of big data that will enhance the deep-bench of our firm’s existing network of sophisticated investors, intelligence professionals, and academics,” says Jonathan Caplis (pictured), managing principal of PivotalPath.
 
“He will be a strong addition to our advisory board as we assess and better structure information, provide feedback and share experiences to implement ever-evolving analytical techniques,” adds Viktor Ula, managing principal. 
 
Volgelstein is currently an assistant professor in biomedical medical engineering at Johns Hopkins University, and core faculty in both the Institute for Computational Medicine and the Center for Imaging Science, as well as a member of the Kavli Neuroscience Discovery Institute.
