Josh Baylin, a research analyst with Stansberry Research, has been covering technology since the days when flip phones were a status symbol and dial-up modems chirped their digital songs.
Today, at MarketWise, Josh is guiding individual investors through the greatest technological shift of our lifetime — the rise of artificial intelligence.
Having built and deployed these systems himself, he knows how to identify which companies will win the AI wars… which automation plays will deliver real returns… which technologies are revolutionizing entire industries… and which stocks are just hype.
Josh’s career began with Bloomberg News in Washington, D.C. There, he covered the intersection of technology and public policy, what he describes as the “clash between innovation and regulation.”
From there, he moved on to become an analyst and investor at Legg Mason and SAC Capital. During that time, he invested in the companies that built our digital infrastructure — the wireless phones, networks, software platforms, and gaming ecosystems that now define modern life.
He has also helped Fortune 100 companies reimagine their operations through Robotics Process Automation (RPA), data analytics, and visualization systems that streamlined business processes and optimized critical supply chains.
As the vice president of product, marketing, and analytics at Brain Corp., Josh helped build up a small robotics company into an industry leader. During his time at Brain, the company expanded its autonomous mobile robot fleet and created data products that made it indispensable to the largest retailers in the world.
Over a more than 20-year career that has taken him from Washington D.C. to Wall Street to Silicon Valley, Josh has pursued a singular mission: transforming how organizations see, understand, and act on their data.
Between ventures, you'll find him walking Bandon Dunes' clifftop fairways or building the future of golf technology. He lives in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California, with his wife Margaret and son Isaac, where Pacific sunsets remind him daily that the best innovations, like the best waves, are worth waiting for.
