SAN DIEGO, Sept. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AlphaTrAI, a technology-driven asset management firm that delivers results through transformative artificial intelligence, announced today that Max Gokhman has joined the firm as Chief Investment Officer (CIO). In this role, he will oversee the firm’s quantitative, multi-asset, AI-enabled platform.
