About McLean Insights
CLARITY COMES FROM DATA
At McLean Insights, we believe clarity comes from data—not unnecessary complexity. Founded out of frustration with traditional approaches, we set out to do things differently: to question assumptions, challenge norms, and pursue unreasonable success through disciplined, data-driven strategies.
As a small, fiercely dedicated firm, we don’t accept limitations—we engineer around them. We specialize in building systematic, repeatable investment frameworks powered by cutting-edge data science, machine learning, and high-resolution modeling. Every insight we deliver is designed to strip away noise, minimize risk, and help our clients uncover opportunity with precision and confidence
MEET THE FOUNDER
Chris McLean
Driven by a mindset forged in high-stakes environments, Chris McLean graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in the wake of 9/11 and went on to serve as a forward-deployed officer, choosing to lead from the front lines whenever possible. He brings that same intensity and purpose to McLean Insights, where mission focus and data discipline intersect.
With over a decade of experience in financial modeling, quantitative analysis, and systematic strategy development, Chris has a unique ability to uncover signal in noisy, complex markets. His technical background includes two master’s degrees—Electrical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University and Engineering Management from Old Dominion University—as well as multiple patents in Software Defined Radio. He’s worked extensively across radar systems, software-defined communication, white-hat cybersecurity, and advanced data science.
