I build and grow high-performing data science, AI products and teams, directing a mix of AI/data science PhDs, software developers, designers, and engineering managers. FROM CONCEPTION TO ADOPTION. I am able to leverage my background, deep mathematical and algorithmic understanding and combine them with an entrepreneurial mindset and experience.I have delivered 60+ cross-industry AI projects over the past decade, have failed and succeeded in myriad ways and loved it all. Been acquired twice, by Intel and Nokia. Served as lead scientist and horizontal platform owner of Intel\'s cognitive computing practice. Combined AI predictions with data-driven optimization of business actions, plans, and policies, in my last startup, which led me to join Accenture\'s Global AI solutions-Passion:I have always been super passionate about better human thinking and the prospect of thinking machines that can make us smarter collectively.
