Gardner, Founder and CEO of Modulus.

SharpeMind, which will be offered to top brokerages, financial institutions, and hedge
funds via cloud technology, will immediately become the industry leader in AI financial
products. “Everyone at Modulus is excited to have teamed up with IBM to create a truly
revolutionary product within the industry. I’m proud of everybody’s inputs, and
SharpeMind has really surpassed anybody’s original expectations,” Gardner states.
