While The Great Resignation forces companies to reevaluate their growth and retention strategies and consider reskilling and upskilling programs, we wanted to revisit WorldQuant CEO Igor Tulchinsky’s conversation with the World Economic Forum’s podcast Meet the Leader to share his insights on founding WorldQuant University, what he learned along the way, and how innovation is shaping the future of education around the world.

"Obstacles are nothing more than just information," said Tulchinsky. "It's just data showing you what else you need." As the need for professional quantitative skills and data-driven insights continue to grow, WorldQuant University is proud to be a leader in helping upskill learners from around the globe.
