About Raul Cepin

I’m an AI product executive building generative AI platforms, agents, and data products for enterprise research and development teams in regulated industries. At Wiley, I lead AI product management for the company’s first of its kind enterprise generative AI platform, Wiley’s first productized AI offering, which includes a new revenue line and a publisher-hosted inferencing API that connects 10% of the world\'s peer reviewed content to advanced AI systems used by global research organizations.My work sits at the intersection of AI strategy, product portfolio leadership, and B2B commercialization. I have led and scaled AI product and engineering organizations, built domain-specific go-to-market strategies across life sciences, healthcare, financial services, defense, and materials science, and driven impact through strategic partnerships with platforms such as AWS, Anthropic Claude, Perplexity, and Google.I focus on building agentic systems and retrieval platforms that make complex knowledge assets usable for AI: LLM and small language model strategy, retrieval-augmented generation architectures, AI agents and research copilots, and safety and governance frameworks that work in regulated environments. I use design thinking and rapid prototyping with lighthouse customers to compress development cycles, validate real use cases, and de-risk long-term AI roadmaps.Earlier in my career, I led AI and data products at Wolters Kluwer, Baseball Cloud, and Ogury, partnering with cross-functional teams to grow recurring revenue, reduce risk and fraud, and raise data maturity and experimentation across B2B organizations. Across each role, the through line is turning messy data and research content into scalable, revenue-generating AI products.
