Charlotte
is the Founder and Managing Director of Communications at Minimax Consulting. It
was her idea (on Pi Day, March 14th) to start a firm which could act
like a think tank and provide services to businesses and other
researchers in need of complex quantitative modeling, and she has
worked to grow Minimax from that thought to where we are today. Born in
Paris and raised in London, Charlotte moved to the States to study at
Brown University, creating the third generation of Brown alumni in her
family (her father, mother, uncle, and maternal grandfather all also
attended Brown). She recently won the Ladies Event at the World Poker
Tour tournament at Foxwoods, and was the subject of a front page story in the Providence Journal on the connection between mathematics and poker.
