ISRAAR KAMAL

I am a Biophysical Sciences honours graduate from the University of Ottawa with a 4.0 GPA and multiple academic scholarships, specialized in research design, statistical methods and technical writing. I focus on turning complex data into actionable insights to solve real-world problems.

As Co‑Founder and Managing Partner, I led the design and implementation of the Cardinal Fund, a fully quantitative global currency portfolio driven by data‑driven models and mathematical trading systems. I defined end‑to‑end fund strategy, built investor documentation and operational SOPs, and supported proprietary model validation through iterative statistical analysis.

In my role as an Insurance Advisor and Front Line Underwriter, I assess risk, prepare quotes and endorsements, and ensure compliance with FSRA and industry regulations while improving customer experience. I bridge communication across clients, technical teams and underwriters, using CRMs and enterprise tools to streamline workflows and support audits.

I am skilled at leveraging Microsoft 365, Excel, CRM platforms and quantitative tooling to monitor KPIs, automate reporting and optimize processes. I thrive in collaborative, cross‑functional environments where I can apply rigorous analysis, strong documentation practices and regulatory awareness to scale products and operations.
