Bjarni Runolfson

I’m a strategic Data Science leader with 16+ years of experience using machine learning, advanced analytics, and predictive modeling to drive revenue growth, operational efficiency, and strategic decision-making. I design and deploy production-grade ML models, optimize high-impact business processes, and translate complex insights into actionable decision frameworks.

I’m trusted by executives and stakeholders for disciplined data governance, scalable analytics, and measurable outcomes. In my current role, I lead model governance audits, technical architecture reviews, and targeted coaching to improve ML quality, scalability, and delivery velocity across production environments.

Across my experience, I’ve built forecasting and optimization solutions—such as enterprise call routing optimization frameworks and lead prioritization/scoring systems—that directly exceeded revenue targets and increased high-value application volume. I also focus on team development and cross-functional executive partnership, integrating advanced analytics into core business workflows through practical implementation, including reverse ETL pipelines and production model deployment.
