About Avner

Expert in applied data and AI strategy, I assist companies in their innovation, transformation, and automation projects. My approach combines scientific rigor, business vision, and the ability to bridge the gap between decision-makers and technical teams.

With a dual background from CentraleSupélec / Columbia University and international experience in research and industry, I have developed cutting-edge expertise in:
• Data & AI Strategy: Defining and managing data/AI strategies in digital health, finance, transportation, and sustainable development.
• Advanced Modeling & Analytics: Predictive, statistical, and econometric models (e.g., climate stress tests for a major European systemic bank).
• Research & Innovation: Co-creation of an innovative biomedical sensor at IBM Research (presented at CES Las Vegas), 10 scientific publications, 3 US patents.

What I bring to assignments

I work on strategic and technical projects with high stakes:
• Design of AI and data roadmaps aligned with business priorities.
• Structuring of data governance and scoping of data projects.
• Definition, development, and integration of robust and sustainable AI solutions.
• Management of multidisciplinary teams (data engineers, developers, designers, PMs).

Personal strengths

Curious, analytical, and pedagogical, I simplify complex subjects and help organizations anticipate technological changes to structure value-creating solutions.
