Summary
Alberto Cetoli is a Principal Machine Learning Engineer with a decade of experience building production NLP and generative AI systems across finance and consumer tech. He progressed from academic research (PhD in Physics) and founding an NLP startup that converted text into formal discourse representations, to hands-on roles delivering search, NER, sentiment and entity-disambiguation pipelines at Qlik, Context Scout and QBE, and scaling generative AI at Citi. Now at Cleo, he blends deep research instincts with product-focused engineering to ship robust ML solutions for real-world problems. His background uniquely couples formal semantic approaches with modern large-model workflows, enabling both interpretable pipelines and generative systems. Based in Greenwich, he is comfortable moving between prototype research and enterprise-grade deployment, often surfacing subtle linguistic structure that improves model reliability.
