About Chris Pouliot

AI/ML and Data Science leader with over 20 years of experience. At multiple companies (many with IPO\'s) grew teams from scratch to 20-50 data scientists who then had massive impact applying data/math/statistics in order to improve the product experience and/or insights that made meaningful business decisions. Instead of specializing in one industry vertical, I leverage my experience in multiple areas (ads, recommender systems, multiple-sided markets, autonomous driving), to bring ideas/concepts from other areas into the current one. An example of this is that at NIO I was the sole inventor in an issued patent which describes a methodology to improve in-car infotainment recommendations by using additional context (e.g. where are you going, who is in the car with you) that a smart-car would have.
