About Batu Sayici
I translate human behavior & insights into the design and direction of intelligent systems. Focused on shaping next gen experiences where human intent, agency, and technology converge. At LinkedIn, my work sits across research, product, and machine learning — defining how user intent is modeled, operationalized, and brought into product experiences for 1B global users. Across recommendation systems, AI monetization, and marketplace strategy, I’ve driven ~$300M+ in impact by grounding AI products in real human needs.Previously, I led experience strategy at JPMorgan Chase, applying foresight to define future-of-banking direction and AI strategy. Earlier, I built research and design practice at the GovLab, launching public-sector platforms for data-driven decision-making.
