While at AQR, Pawar was a Partner and Chief Technology Officer in the Capital Management division. Located in Greenwich, he triumphed in his duties over almost a six-year period. He led the infrastructure modernization that propelled the transformation and scaling of AQR to one of the world’s most successful hedge funds.

Sebastian Ceria, Chief Executive Officer of Qontigo, said: “I am delighted to welcome Neal Pawar to Qontigo. Neal was a client, and we enthusiastically collaborated for many years.

As a computer scientist, I’m excited that the next chapter in my career has brought me to Qontigo, a data and technology pioneer, where we will continue to innovate and deliver for an expanding range of clients,” Pawar said.
