We’re excited to announce our Head of AI, Bryan Bischof, and our first entrepreneur in residence, Philip Zelitchenko.

A practicing professor of data science at Rutgers and a Math PhD, Bryan has spent the past two decades building AI and data science practices across thought-leading startups, including Hex, Weights & Biases, Stitch Fix, Blue Bottle Coffee and many others.

Recently, he published his learnings on a year’s worth of learnings building with AI here.

When we first met Philip, he joined our Office Hours to share his practical approach to data product management—covering how to define clear data product requirements and build teams that deliver with focus.

Philip has led data and AI teams at ZoomInfo, DocuSign, and multiple startups, with a focus on execution—bringing machine learning, experimentation, and analytics into production to solve real business problems. He also led Israeli Defense Force teams training in the Negev desert.

Welcome, Bryan and Philip!
