About the show

A deep dive with practitioners

The Sophron® Network is for people interested in financial markets, innovation and technology. The podcast is its home: each episode is a long conversation with a practitioner, a researcher or a builder, on quantitative trading, market structure, derivatives, risk and the growing role of AI in finance.

Past guests include Lionel Martellini of EDHEC, Yves Hilpisch, Marc Ostwald, Jean-Philippe Bouchaud and Daniel Duffy. The show is recorded in Amsterdam and wherever our guests happen to be, and every episode is paired with a written article.
