What I offer
As an operator, I have successfully brought differentiated computational modeling technology to market - e.g. in Biotech, Healthtech, and IOT. My executive responsibilities have included business building, sales leadership, and technology & data strategy.
I provide complex due diligence support for start-ups and VCs, supporting fundraising in the US and UK. I also sit on and advise Boards.
How I think
-
Data, algorithms, and the question to be answered are not separable. Systems thinking is required.
-
Statistics, ML, and AI are all based on the same classical thinking that is taught at school. Causal requires Bayesian & network thinking.
-
Understand the domain, then the maths, and only then the code. If you start with the code / models, you will be trapped inside somebody else's assumptions.
-
Listen not to what the market asks for, but for what the market needs.
-
Descriptive analytics trumps all. Stare at the data and discover the patterns. Be a detective, just like Columbo!
-
In multi-disciplinary companies and industries, the biggest opportunities as well as failures can come from the many languages used. Scientists, engineers, software coders etc all think and speak differently.
