Prof. Prince Sarpong is an Associate Professor of Finance at the School of Financial Planning Law, University of the Free State, and a post‑disciplinary systems architect whose work spans corporate finance, financial psychology, AI epistemics, and institutional behaviour. 

He has developed several pioneering frameworks, including Brittle Financial Health, Antifragile Financial Therapy, Institutional Financial Therapy, and the Cognitive Growth Index (CGI), a generative AI model for mapping intellectual recursion and adaptive cognition.

His broader intellectual ecosystem, Sarpong Strategia, anchors a set of transdisciplinary ventures: the Centre for Financial Psychology and Systems (CFPS) in Bloemfontein, South Africa; Financial Therapy for Men Inc. and Fortis Strategia in Sacramento, California; and Applied AI Epistemics, a research lab focusing on epistemic research and reform in the age of artificial intelligence.

He currently serves on the advisory board of both AI 2030, a global initiative on responsible AI and Epistemica, an epistemic engineering firm. he is a member of the Financial Therapy Association in the US; and is a member of the Financial Planning Institute of Southern Africa.

Prof Sarpong’s current work confronts the limits of traditional disciplinary boundaries by designing systems that metabolize pressure into structure, across money, identity, capital, and corporate leadership.
