From scratch I have built an AI team of 50+ FTEs and I lead the research and development of AI capabilities that are built into several products worth $50M+ each at IQVIA having over the past several years run through POCs and MVPs into business cases that prove strong ROI cases to our C-suite. These AI capabilities include over 200+ NLP, ML models built into a library of micro-services that are provided through REST APIs across a global platform built to handle ethical and non-bias AI.
