In designing The Modelry framework Dr. Ziskin has leveraged his diverse 20 year career that spans roles in academic research, Wall Street, consulting and executive management at commercial banks.

Starting his financial work with the SecDb platform at Goldman Sachs he then spent six years in consulting before taking on a role as the Head of Modeling at the CIT Group. There he began to develop the technical and cultural framework for a modeling team that incorporated the best aspects from its investment banks' counterparts but tailored to the context and requirements of a regional bank. He then brought the same vision to M&T Bank, building out the Centralized Modeling division focused on leveraging the large investments made in risk and regulatory areas towards improving business profitability and operational efficiency.

He has a BA from Harvard and a PhD. in Astrophysics from Johns Hopkins.
