Testimonials

"I am pleased to endorse Jared as an exceptionally talented forecaster. His first-place finishes in the 2021 and 2022 editions of the 'In the News' forecasting challenge—both by wide margins—speak for themselves. As a member of Samotsvety, Jared has been an engaging and informative conversation partner. Further, Jared has contributed to several forecasting projects that I have led at Samotsvety, consistently impressing me with his enthusiasm and ability to move fast."
— Misha Yagudin, Co-Founder of Arb Research & Samotsvety Forecasting

 

"Jared wrote the very first forecast for the inaugural issue of Asterisk Magazine. At the time, monkeypox was spreading rapidly in the United States, and so were a lot of hot takes on the virus. Jared’s piece cut through the noise by highlighting the key factors in predicting the spread of monkeypox. It also provided a self-reflective window into how forecasters revise their estimates as new data and information emerge."
— Jake Eaton, Managing Editor of Asterisk Magazine

​

"I had the pleasure of working with Jared. At Alvea, we needed to forecast key variables related to pandemic preparedness to strengthen our investor pitch. Despite being on a tight schedule, Jared communicated his uncertainty and world model with clarity and precision. I would highly recommend Jared to any organization looking for a sharp, thoughtful, and reliable collaborator."
— Grigory Khimulya, CEO of Alvea

 

"Jared provided my firm with an intuitive and understandable introduction to critical thinking skills for my team of staff. He provided a great introduction to my group and presented it in terms that could be understood by new inductees to the process. His presentation was well-received, and we won’t hesitate to seek his help for creating and presenting content to us at our next seminar."
— Paul Bouchard, CEO of BPWood

 

"Working with Jared continues to be a real eye-opener with regard to what extent I can verifiably improve my forecasting competence. While I consider this an essential life skill, I work for a company that places premium value on best decision-making. As such, it is a real value contribution to myself and my company. Oh, did I mention how much fun the sessions are?"
— Benjamin Perlzweig, AWS
