HedgeStreet:

Dr. John Nafeh – Director

John Nafeh is the Founder of HedgeStreet. He combined his expertise in decision analysis and risk management, his experience guiding Internet-related start-ups, and his vision of an Internet-based mass market for risk-hedging financial instruments [*] to create HedgeStreet. As Managing Director of Pareto Partners, a venture capital fund, Dr. Nafeh has demonstrated extensive expertise in start-up financing, strategic planning, marketing, and mergers and acquisitions. He was involved with Atari and Apple Computer during their start-up phases, founded PC and database software companies in the mid-1980s, and earlier held management positions with Ford Aerospace and General Electric. Along with a BS in electrical engineering, Dr. Nafeh holds an MS in management science and engineering and a PhD in decision and risk analysis from Stanford University.

[*] a flawed vision?
