Takafumi Rutz

With a solid academic foundation in economics and extensive expertise in quantitative analyses, I solve practical problems by pursuing state-of-the-art and fine-tuned strategies in a fast-paced environment. By leveraging more than ten years of experience in numerical methods, I am passionate about deploying data-driven decision-making with various sources of uncertainties and externalities. I am well-versed in the collaborative process with interdisciplinary backgrounds and effectively communicate findings to stakeholders. Along with goal-oriented performance, I find social intelligence, creativity, the ability to work well in teams, and strong communication skills crucial to corporate and individual success. I am fluent in English, native in Japanese, and have conversational skills in German. I have a work permit B in Switzerland (Familienangehöriger).
