What I'm looking for

I am looking for leadership roles that leverage ML/AI to drive consumer product innovation, cross-functional collaboration, and measurable business impact.

I am a Senior Manager in Data Science with 15+ years leading international teams to deliver ML, DL and generative AI solutions across financial technology, education, and consumer products. I build and scale data processing pipelines and consumer modeling capabilities that improve predictive accuracy and operational efficiency.

I have led teams of 8–12+ data scientists to design and validate consumer behavior models, projection techniques and validation routines, improving predictive accuracy by 25% and operational outcomes by up to 30%. I present rigorous research and actionable insights to senior stakeholders and coordinate cross-functional integration with product, engineering and business teams.

Technically, I have implemented solutions on Azure, Databricks and Snowflake, and applied advanced ML, deep learning and generative AI (including synthetic data generation) to enhance testing, segmentation and content strategies. I seek roles where I can combine technical leadership with strategic impact to drive consumer-focused analytics and product innovation.
