I love being the host for the Atomic Soul Podcast where I explore the very things driving humanity forward. This isn’t your average “AI is taking over our civilization” show - it’s something much more rare that’s sure to make you reevaluate your perspective on controversial topics. Each week we’ll hear from the world’s most interesting people, like corporate giant execs and people bending the mold. It’s at this very intersection of tech and the brain where we expand our consciousness.

Podcast Host

Dataiku

I will provide straightforward industry perspectives and insights, thought leadership on the future of AI, and share the stories and best practices of Dataiku’s growing enterprise customers. I will help accelerate the company’s strong recent momentum, including: 
Over 500 customers with 150+ on the Forbes Global 2000 list
95% customer retention rate with Forbes Global 2000 customers 
Industry recognition includes being named to the Forbes Cloud 100 and Forbes AI 50 lists, top 10 in the Data50, and Snowflake’s ML/AI partner of the year.  
Certification as a Great Place to Work, with 94% of Dataikers saying the company is a great place to work (compared to 57% of employees in a typical U.S.-based company)

You can’t have fun if the fundamentals aren’t working and I was impressed with Dataiku’s growth, enterprise customer count, customer satisfaction, and one collaborative platform. 

I want to work for a market leader and believe that Dataiku is indeed the leader that industry analysts and 500+ customers say they are and I want to invest my life force into this company. 

I am very excited about the next year, and my excitement has only continued to increase since joining. This company has the soul I was seeking.

Chief AI Strategist

DataRobot

As Chief AI Strategist at DataRobot, I work closely with our innovation team, marketing, sales, and product to ensure innovation is aligned with our product roadmap/strategy. I also help nurture strategic partnerships for the innovation team, can we combine like-minded visionaries to accelerate the future? Can we inspire the next generation by combining world-class innovation with brilliant storytelling? I love working with brilliant technologists and amplifying them with genius creatives. Magic happens between these two types of experts. Some of that work was showcased with our 10,000 cast piece which ended up being nominated for a Webby award. Very excited about what we have in the pipeline this year.

Artificial intelligence is already changing our world for the better. Unfortunately, too many homegrown projects are failing giving the rest of the industry a bad rap. Too many executives are naive to the opportunity. The gap of "do-ability" isn't being crossed in the mind of the business executive. AI should inspire, it should transform, everyone should wake up in the morning excited about what AI could do to automate their business and lift our society to new innovative heights.

HireVue

Building out HireVue's data science team with the talent needed to execute on our technical data roadmap. We currently have one of the best deep learning teams in the state and by next year it could be one of the top 10 deep learning teams in the country. I love the work we are doing, the opportunity we have, and the success we are seeing. Working with brilliant people is critical to job satisfaction and we have that at HireVue.

Chief Data Scientist

Is it possible to take something as unstructured and complicated as a digital interview and predict the quality of the candidate response? The answer is yes! Imagine what you can do with 100,000x more data than a resume. Leading HireVue's data science team to success on algorithm development for the HireVue insights IRIS product, a new data frontier for sure.

Principal Data Scientist

Metaheuristic Solutions LLC

Metaheuristic Solutions is a optimization consulting company with the world's leading metaheuristic optimization algorithm, the x algorithm. The new algorithm was developed by Ben Taylor and was made available in 2011.

Founder/CTO

IM Flash Technologies

Using Matlab, R, and Julia to develop multivariate and single variate models and analysis (MVA/UVA) for tool fault detection. These models are then used to shut down tools used in the semiconductor manufacturing process, notify stake holders, and mark up lots for real-time detection analysis (RDA). Projects also include building complex yield models from tool data and automating alarm rule setup as well as fab wide tool fingerprinting to identify rogue behavior even if alarms are not present.

I am also very busy on the web app side building PHP/Mysql wrappers to give engineers access to big data solutions. Hoping to switch soon to python/django/postgres. Also using custom built SQL queuing system that I designed on the backend to manage user loading for job requests.

I watch the watchers, I direct the learners. 

I am passionate about machine learning. My life's mission is to further the boundaries of what is possible with data science. I spend as much time as I can working with deep learning, NLP, and all forms of data science. I currently have a passion project I am managing where I am combining the power of genetic programming with deep learning to automate network design. I think there is a trend happening in data science where human expertise and creativity are being replaced by powerful new methods (i.e. deep learning, big data). 

I am most well known for my machine learning work with the data science community and with HireVue. With the community, I enjoy posting opinions on jobs and tutorials on ML methods. I also enjoy speaking and presenting to all types of audiences. 

I've enjoyed working across engineering, product, sales, marketing, and customer success. This wider POV has helped shape the way I think about innovation, from the innovation farm to the customer's table ;)

There is something beautiful about a founding story rooted in a single human moment: someone giving up a quiet Sunday morning to finish a timesheet. A detail small enough to overlook, yet meaningful enough to change the course of three lives and eventually a company.

As someone who joined Laurel long after that moment, I am reminded this Thanksgiving how rare it is to step into a story that began with such genuine intent. And how meaningful it is to contribute to something the founders could not solve alone, but invited others to help refine, architect, and scale.

The work here is not theoretical or abstract. It is real, sometimes messy, and always purposeful. It has taught me more about teamwork, humility, and impact than I expected.

Joining Laurel at this point in its journey and building RevOps has been its own form of gymnastics, asking people to slow down just enough to align on process, capture clean data, and lay the groundwork for meaningful scale in a world racing toward AI. It is challenging, grounding, and exactly the type of work I hoped to find.

I carry this mission with me every day and feel grateful to be part of a story focused on giving people back something we all need more of: time.

Lauren Mischke

RevOps at Laurel | Rethinking the GTM Stack with AI, Automation & Augmented Ops

In 2015, Ryan, Eric, and I were on a weekend trip to San Diego with some friends. Sunday morning, around 7 am, Ryan quietly packed his bag and headed for the door. I asked, “Where are you going?”

“I’ve got to drive back to L.A. and finish my timesheet. If I miss it again, I risk losing my job,” he replied. He was an Associate in Big Law at the time. 

That stopped me. A timesheet, on a Sunday morning. It made us realize how much time professionals lose to the work around their work, with invisible administrative tasks that follow you home.

I would label that anecdote as one of the key moments that cemented the idea behind Laurel, and its beginning.

Looking back, the threads were there long before. My last name, Zamani, literally means “time” in Farsi. I grew up in a family where time was given freely. If you needed help on a Saturday, people showed up. My parents immigrated when my dad was 14, built every house we lived in with their own hands, and taught me that time is one of the purest forms of generosity.

Only after becoming a dad myself did I truly understand it. My three-year-old doesn’t care about growth metrics or quarterly targets; she just wants me to be present with her at home. Being a father has reframed how I think about time as something to protect and return because it is a finite resource we can’t bring back.

The heart of Laurel’s mission is to return time to the world. Similar to that story with Ryan, or those personal instances.

Every day, 40% of a knowledge worker’s time doesn’t lead to meaningful outcomes. In law firms, that translates to tens of thousands of unbilled hours each year. Laurel helps reclaim that time, an average of 25 extra billable minutes per lawyer per day, or about $15 million in annual incremental revenue for a 500-person firm.

To do that at scale, we’re building thoughtful, reliable partnerships that integrate seamlessly into the systems our customers already trust from legal and accounting to consulting and finance. When professionals spend less time tracking work and more time practicing it, clients win, firms grow, and the numbers tell the story: together, we’ve already returned 6.4 years of productive time to every knowledge worker we serve.

Our story began with one timesheet on a Sunday morning. Today, it’s about giving that time back to millions of people, one hour at a time.
