In the late '70s, Simons switched career paths and entered finance, founding the company we know today as Renaissance Technologies. This marked the beginning of his journey into quantitative finance, an industry to which he would become one of the most innovative pioneers.

As I explain, Simons always sought out PhDs in Physics, math, and computer science rather than MBAs, opting for the deep technical knowledge these fields offered - a trend that marks Wall Street's hiring culture today. Simons was driven by the power of data analysis and was always on the lookout for hidden patterns in data that the human eye could not perceive, leading to Renaissance Technology's extraordinary success.

We also delve into how Simons' legacy continues through his philanthropic efforts especially in the sphere of mathematical and scientific education. His foundation, the Simons Foundation, has donated billions of dollars to these causes, making a significant impact and demonstrating his deep belief in education.

Simons' life stands as a testament to the power of applying a scientific lens to complex problems and his pioneering spirit in the world of finance. He will be long remembered as a visionary in his field.

Join me in looking through the life of this extraordinary man and dive into the intricacies that led to his phenomenal success.
