About Chuk Orakwue

Hi there - I am recent MBA graduate at UT McCombs School of Business; where I was a McCombs Fellow, Cleantech Fellow and Consortium Fellow, focusing on finance, investment management and impact investing. I am a computer scientist by training and co-founder of quant firm Xantos Labs - an SEC registered investment adviser. At UT McCombs, I served as the lead PM for my class cohort, managing multimillion portfolios at The MBA Investment Fund. I am also a member of Titans of Investing - an elite collegiate program by legendary investor, Britt Harris (President/CEO of UTIMCO with $60B AUM and a mentor). I am passionate about cleantech and impact investing. In the past, I have led efforts on 1.25MW greenfield solar PV + storage for a university in West Africa (from technical design, to economic and feasibility analysis), installation of solar-powered lights in community in West Africa, and non-profit orgs such as MBA Africa Connect (MAC) that is committed to bridging the cultural and professional divide between Africa and its diaspora. Prior to MBA, I held several individual contributor and tech lead roles as a computer architect at some of the best tech firms in the world: Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung. I am an innovator with multiple patents filed/granted across US, Europe, Japan, and China. I am a strong believer in meritocracy and work cultures focused on transparency, excellence, and growth. I love traveling and meeting interesting/driven people working to solve the world's difficult challenges. Let's connect!
