Jerry Miccolis, CFA, FCAS, MAA, CERA, is a staunch science sycophant, waggish wordsmith, cunning crossword constructor, putative playwright, serious senior softballer, semi-skilled stage and set structurer, tireless tutor, bold boogie-boarder, and annoying alliterator. He is particularly passionate about a pair of pet projects: fostering integrity and accountability in the financial services industry, and enhancing math and science literacy among "kids" of all ages. He was formerly a founding principal and the chief investment officer of an investment management company. Prior to that, he was a principal and global practice leader for a large multi-national professional services firm.
