About Christopher Stephens

Leading AI Solutions and Customer Success at Groq. My focus is creating value for you and your customers with the world\'s fastest (and most efficient) inference. Made in the USA, Groq LPUs will blow your mind with speed and efficiency. I also teach at Carnegie Mellon as a member of the Faculty in the Heinz College teaching in Data and AI.My career is a journey of learning, failing, and always pushing forward. I\'ve led large data and analytics teams as a Chief Data Officer three times. I\'ve delivered advanced Data Science solutions, launched new analytics platforms, and built a model or two of my own. Our future will be shaped by humans and AI working together. I am here at Groq to help lead that transformation.
