Gilles Fayad

I spent my entire career launching new products. My track record has been to move up the food chain to successfully solve one problem after the other, and in doing so acquiring a broad technical expertise, managerial acumen, and international exposure. I am deeply fascinated with the impact of technology on society, complex mathematical problems, deep learning, reinforcement learning, and the relationship between form and function in design. I love sailing and diving, but you can lure me with a coffee into a game of chess, Go, or simply in a discussion on reinventing the world.
