Approach
Schuyler approaches strategy as the disciplined orchestration of reason, culture and technology. He starts with clear ethical objectives, then builds data-driven, behavior-aware frameworks that can withstand volatility across regions and asset classes. Implementation for him means slow thinking before fast execution: aligning AI systems, governance, and education so every action is auditable, explainable and rooted in long-term trust.
Opinion
- A Markets are not casinos but social architectures of trust; performance without integrity or education is a fragile illusion that eventually harms both capital and community.
- B AI should not replace human judgment but reveal its blind spots, helping investors see where emotion, narrative and bias distort what appears to be objective data.
- C Regulation, when grounded in transparency and education, is not a constraint on innovation but the indispensable safeguard that makes innovation socially sustainable.
Profile
Wharton- and Cambridge-trained, Schuyler built a three-decade global career across Wall Street, Europe and Asia before founding Velotas and the Alithia Intelligent Alliance Office to unite AI finance, blockchain trust and investor protection.
“True inheritance is not the continuation of wealth, but the transmission of reason.”

Research
Boundary Between Reason and Emotion
Explores how rational analysis and emotional impulse coexist in investor behavior. Schuyler argues that robust strategies admit this tension and design processes—such as pre-commitment rules and scenario testing—that prevent transient emotions from derailing long-term conviction.
Architecture of Trust in Financial Storms
Analyzes crisis episodes, including the Asian financial crisis, to show how communication, policy coherence and transparent regulation can slow contagion. He frames trust as an engineered system that must be tested and reinforced, not an abstract sentiment left to chance.
Velotas: Behavior-Aware AI Systems
Describes Velotas as an intelligent layer that reads decision psychology and market structure rather than just price series. The research focuses on adaptive models, cross-market risk signaling and human-in-the-loop design for AI-guided portfolio construction.
Crypto Ethics & Mathematization of Trust
Argues that blockchain’s real promise is turning vague promises into verifiable rules backed by transparent ledgers. Schuyler advocates “crypto ethics” in which innovation, law and self-discipline meet, creating digital asset ecosystems that are open yet accountable.
