Sam Erdnase

I am an entrepreneur looking for big problems to solve. My work has covered a wide range of sectors, from online marketing to applied mathematics and from asset-price volatility modelling to cleantech consulting.

I am passionate about solving "macro-scale" problems, particularly in the proliferation of business, technology and socially-minded economics as a source of conflict resolution, particularly in the Middle East. I believe in economic and social development as a pathway to long-lasting peace in the region.

Outside my work, I have a number of other interests. I am a professional close up magician and a salsa dance instructor, and I have also been a chef and a piano teacher in my spare time. I also like pattern spotting and photography.
