Nathan Carter grew up in the fast-paced world of Wall Street. Raised in Chicago, Illinois, he had a natural talent for numbers and risk assessment, leading him to earn a PhD in Financial Economics from Harvard. He became one of the youngest quantitative analysts at a leading investment bank, specializing in algorithmic trading and systemic risk modeling.
During his career, he observed first-hand how unregulated algorithmic trading and market speculation could trigger financial meltdowns. His research on market volatility and predictive risk assessment earned him a role at the Federal Reserve, where he developed new methodologies for early detection of economic bubbles and financial crises.
Despite his success, Nathan became increasingly frustrated with the lack of global oversight in market regulation. Financial institutions were operating across multiple jurisdictions with different rules, leading to regulatory loopholes that posed major risks to financial stability.
When Richard and William approached him, he saw GFSA as the missing piece in the global financial ecosystem—an organization that could anticipate crises, prevent market manipulation, and enforce financial discipline. As a co-founder, he took charge of data-driven decision-making, risk analysis, and regulatory adaptability.
