- Bis heute 6 Jahre und 5 Monate, seit Jan. 2019Babbel (Lesson Nine GmbH)
Head of Predictive Analytics & Machine Learning
I’m leading Babbel’s Machine Learning Team, which I have built from the first hire, and I’m setting up a new unit focused on strategic data analytics. Together, the teams create and operate data products and services that help Babbel understand, predict and optimise the business and the product across departments. We own topics like churn, CLR and forecasting. We use machine learning to link data across domains, such as product, marketing and finance.
I'm building a small but sharply focused data science unit responsible for long-term projects, innovation and cutting edge methodology. Our mission is to use state of the art machine learning and statistical modelling to analyse and predict our customers, our markets and the mechanics of our business. We work closely with data engineers and our stakeholders in marketing, product and finance.
