Data Science Leader.
Bridging PhD-Level Analytics & Executive Strategy.
I bridge the gap between PhD-level mathematics and organizational strategy. As a Big 4 Manager and AI Lecturer, I build the frameworks that turn technological uncertainty into structural advantage
Technical Translation
Distilling advanced mathematical and analytical ideas into decision-ready architectures for non-technical leaders.
Featured Research: Topological Data Analysis (arXiv/World Scientific) | AI Lecturer (NKUA/AUEB)
Strategic AI Roadmap
Designing and evaluating AI initiatives across their full lifecycle—from early experimentation to robust, governed, production-grade systems.
Featured Presenter: Neo4j Live on Graph-based Recommendation Systems
Operational Excellence
Applying rigorous analytical methods to improve system performance—reducing risk, exposing failure modes, and improving decision quality.
Framework: BrandProbe – Open-source evaluation of AI behavior
About
I have spent my career helping organizations navigate market uncertainty by building the bridge between technical engineering teams and C-suite objectives. My unique perspective as both a practitioner and an AI/ML Lecturer allows me to not only build advanced frameworks but also to foster the data culture necessary to make them stick.
Passionate about building the systems that help businesses thrive in an era of exponential change.
