Dhruv Alexander
Applied Manager of Applied AI and Products at Georgia Pacific
As Manager of Applied AI and Products, I identify real problems, assess trade-offs, and guide teams toward the best solutions within constraints. Over 8 years in data science, from BI to AI, my focus has remained the same—aligning people and technology to solve meaningful problems, not just building for the sake of it. AI is simply a means to an end, not the end itself. Don't look for ways to apply AI; look for problems where better data analysis can drive better decisions. Depending on the context, using AI may or may not be a good idea.
As a mentor, I can provide:
A POV on determining if building a solution that leverages ML is merited or whether it can be solved through other approaches.
Guidance on designing a product that leverages machine learning. I can coach you on applying best practices, whether at the scoping stage or trying to drive adoption.
Coaching on how to become data-savvy, even without a technical background.
Strategies for effective communication, ensuring AI/ML solutions are accessible and widely adopted.
