Strats as a role has been downplayed and realigned a lot over the last several years. Traditionally, a strat was indeed a "quantitative strategist" that sat on the desk, often next to voice traders, developing tools, pricing models, trading systems, etc.
One of the people I regard as the Godfather/OG strat is Emanuel Derman (https://emanuelderman.com/). Another transformative (in my time) person in the Strat complex was Marty Chavez (https://www.rmartinchavez.com/). Both amazing people on and off the trading floor.
