    Bio

    I have served as Founder, CEO of Amelia (formerly IPsoft) since its inception in 1998. Previously, I served as an Assistant Professor at New York University, where my research was focused on deterministic finite-state computing engines.

    I serve on the board of numerous IT-related institutions and I regularly speak and present on a variety of topics, such as autonomics, cognitive computing and the impact of a digital workforce. And I welcome the opportunity to engage in discussions with like-minded individuals who are as fascinated about AI's evolving impact on the world as I am.
