Nate Forster Will Advance Expertise Research by Building a
Research Tool and Educational Resource for Business
Leaders
GREENWICH, Conn. , July 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- O'Shaughnessy Ventures LLC
("OSV"), an investment firm that empowers creators, has awarded an
O'Shaughnessy Fellowship to Nate
Forster, a researcher, executive coach and operations expert
based in Canada.
Together with his team (Bhaumik
Patel and Anirudh Kannan),
Forster will build a research resource that enables business
leaders to scale their companies by better understanding the
expertise of their top performers. He will also develop a software
tool that dramatically improves the speed and ease of conducting
expertise research.
Forster has previously worked closely with the renowned CEO and
executive coach Matt Mochary,
including as Mochary's chief of staff. In this role, Forster worked
with and built knowledge products for founders and CEOs of some of
the United States' best-known
companies. These experiences enabled him to study how experts learn
and operate and taught him that much of the world's most important
knowledge is tacitly held.
OSV's founder and CEO, Jim
O'Shaughnessy, commented, "Regardless of your role or
occupation, there are huge benefits to studying and learning from
experts across disciplines. However, much of their knowledge
remains hidden. Nate's extensive experience working with experts
and studying expertise makes him the perfect person to lead this
project, and we are delighted to be able to support him over the
coming months."
"I'm truly humbled and honored to be part of the program,"
said Forster. "My career was jumpstarted by the work of
Jim and Patrick O'Shaughnessy, so
it's an incredible feeling to be recognized with a Fellowship."
