Germán Oviedo
@germnoviedo
I lead enterprise GenAI and analytics teams, turning AI and data into scalable, governed products.
What I'm looking for
I work at the intersection of AI, data, product and business—moving ML, AI and GenAI initiatives beyond PoCs into real products, customers, and operating processes. I focus on building AI and data capabilities that scale through clear use cases, strong governance, production-ready platforms, and adoption across teams.
As Head of Generative Artificial Intelligence at Banco Bci, I led enterprise GenAI strategy across governance, architecture, operating standards, vendor partnerships, and a CLP 800MM+ budget. I managed a 20+ initiative pipeline from discovery to production, coordinated internal teams and external partners, and built adoption, compliance and risk frameworks for a regulated bank with 9K+ employees.
Previously, I led MACH’s Analytics & Data Science across Growth, Risk, Fraud and Product, building the Data Science team and coordinating ML engineering delivery. I delivered a Next Best Action engine on AWS (modeling 40+ user behaviors) integrated into the martech stack (Braze, Appsflyer, Segment), and led analytics and AI initiatives including GPT-based DataBot, AutoML pipelines, and an identity verification PoC with potential savings near USD 1M/year.
I also built the Data & Analytics function from scratch at Tenpo, defining the operating model, governance, roadmap and PMO for 120+ stakeholders and 1M+ users. Alongside this, I’ve taught applied Machine Learning and Data Science, and I’m currently completing an MBA in Italy—excited about leadership roles where AI, data and product are core to how the business decides, operates, and grows.
