Our Team

Carlos Diez

CEO & Founder

Carlos saw an opportunity in the late 1990s to combine public companies’ financial statements, available to all investors, with a rigorous analysis designed to identify the stocks with the best growth prospects trading at reasonable prices. In 1999, he founded MarketGrader to harness the Internet, still in its early days as a commercial means of information, to distribute the company’s new ratings to a growing base of individual investors and financial advisors. His original vision was to analyze virtually all publicly traded companies in the world to help investors identify the best creators of long-term shareholder value. In 2003, he expanded this vision by creating a family of indexes whose constituents were selected based on the quality of the companies rather than their market capitalization.

Elias Guerrero​

Director of Data & Indexes​

Elias loves to make sense of large, heterogeneous data sets; he has been managing and mastering Big Data long before it was embedded into modern management consulting lexicon. At MarketGrader he distills vast data sets that include stock ratings, company fundamentals, securities prices, and rules-based methodologies into a global family of indexes across developed and emerging markets.

Sabrina Muller​

Director of Web Development​

Sabrina’s work with MarketGrader.com has resulted in the creation of unique and revolutionary interfaces that translate the company’s powerful research applications into user-friendly web UI’s, benefitting thousands of investors worldwide. Her relationship with the company started in 2000 when she took on the challenging task of developing a web interface for the MarketGrader.com engine, which leveraged the power of the internet to aggregate and analyze vast data sets, and disburse that information to clients in real time. The end result transformed the way equity research was generated and consumed by investors.
