Inachos founded Delphic Strategies in 2015 after a buy-side career that began at Salomon Brothers in London, ran through five years in Citi's Financial Institutions group covering M&A and Debt Capital Markets, and then spent eight years across the global macro hedge funds. The macro chapter took him from Drawbridge Global Macro at Fortress in New York to a founding analyst seat at Galle Global Macro Partners, to portfolio strategist at Moore Capital Management, and finally to managing director of the Asia macro fund at Fortress in Singapore. An MBA at MIT Sloan sat in the middle of that arc.
The work that connected the chapters was the same discipline Delphic now does at scale: take a multi-domain question, decompose it across geopolitics, economics, markets, and individual companies, and put real risk against the synthesis.
Founder & Managing Director
Founded in 2015. The original mandate was bespoke macro and bottom-up research on Greece, the EU periphery, and the broader Eurozone, alongside private transaction sourcing and execution. The remit has widened since.
Standing research and bespoke analysis for fifteen funds across London, New York, Singapore, and San Francisco. Engagements span single-question dossiers and multi-year coverage relationships.
Advisor to Discovery Capital Management — Rob Citrone's global macro fund — on European peripheral and Eurozone macro questions.
Decade-long advisory relationships with two of the largest Greek banks — covering balance-sheet restructurings, capital actions, asset-quality cleanup, and recovery strategy through one of the most demanding periods in European banking. Engagements run directly and, in earlier years, via subcontracting arrangements with a Greek investment services firm.
Single-question mandates across sovereign credit, sector and company diagnostics, and cross-domain policy reads. Scoped to the actual question; not productised.
AI-native expansion
Delphic is entering a new stage of growth and expanded scope — becoming AI-native, and leveraging frontier systems against the same set of questions the firm has answered the old way for a decade.
The discipline matters. AI in the hands of someone who has not built the prior craft produces fluent-sounding nothing. The value of the instrument depends on the operator's ability to frame the question correctly, weight the synthesis, and recognise the answer that is wrong even when it sounds confident. Delphic's edge is that the AI instrument now sits on top of twenty-six years of analytical work, from summer intern to firm principal, built across exactly the four domains the firm now covers at scale.
Inachos went back to MIT in 2023 — MIT xPRO, the AI track — to study the design of AI products and services with this shift specifically in mind. The result is the instrument the rest of the site describes: machine-scale coverage, with judgement that remains with the principal.
