Prior to founding and developing Alpha Theory in 2005, Cameron worked as an equity research analyst for 10 years, covering primarily technology companies and supporting over $20B in transactions for firms such as Lehman Brothers, CIBC (NYSE: CM), and Credit Suisse First Boston (NYSE: CS) before joining Afton Capital Management, a $200M long-short equity hedge fund, in 2002. He currently sits on the board of the UNC-Chapel Hill Business School Investment Fund. Cameron earned his Business degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and became one of the youngest ever to receive the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation in 1999.

It was on the buy-side that Cameron became aware of the avoidable mistakes investment managers were making causing lost performance and he vowed to solve the problem. When he told his grandmother why he was starting Alpha Theory, she looked at him and asked, "You mean they're not doing this already?" and he knew at that moment he had a responsibility to help bring about a change in the industry. Today, Cameron spends his time deepening his knowledge on important topics in behavioral finance, decision sciences, and portfolio management. Further, he acts as a thought leader to investment managers striving to utilize investment-process "best practices" through direct communication at conferences and seminars, on TV and Radio, and through the written word.

Cameron is an avid golfer, Citi-biker, runner, a technology early-adopter, magician (he taught his daughters at the ages of three and one to love sushi), and a die-hard Tarheel fan.

Benn has focused on understanding and helping others understand portfolio risk, portfolio management, and investment decision process "best practices" for the last 20 years. Most recently, Benn founded Axtell Consulting, a risk and portfolio management consultancy for alternative investment advisors and managers before merging Axtell with Alpha Theory. Prior to that, Benn served as the Head of Risk Management for the CR Intrinsic Investors unit within S.A.C. Capital Advisors. From 1999-2006 he was the Chief Risk Officer for Weiss Multi-Strategy, overseeing 14 different strategies and multiple asset classes. Benn received his undergraduate degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Trinity College and was a University Fellow in the Department of Cognitive Science & Linguistics at Brown University.

Daily interactions with the investment teams at these firms keep Benn on top of the latest thinking and emerging issues facing investment managers and he uses insights from those interactions to inform product innovation for Alpha Theory's market-leading decision process and optimization software.

Benn suffers from an unusual form of obsessive-compulsive disorder that compels him to run extremely long distances every single day - often to the point of injury - training for a mountainous, 100 mile run in the Rocky Mountain West every year with visions of a masters podium in his head (which leads to the occasional top 10 finish). When he's not working or running, he's researching military schools for his kids.
