Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnshul Agarwal is a decision-science leader and Ph.D.-trained operations researcher who builds AI-driven solutions that translate complex optimization and ML theory into measurable business impact. Currently Director of Decision Science at The Walt Disney Company, he has led cross-industry teams—from airlines and retail to real estate and chemicals—delivering production-grade recommendation, optimization, and simulation systems. He combines deep technical mastery (mathematical programming, simulation, Bayesian statistics, RL, NLP and recommender architectures) with commercial sensibility to steer strategy and execution through rapid change. A proven people leader and critical thinker, he pairs an IIT‑Delhi B.Tech and a Carnegie Mellon Ph.D. with a hands-on scientist’s curiosity, often prototyping novel algorithms himself. Notably, he has moved between research and product roles repeatedly, making him equally comfortable in whiteboard theory sessions and end-to-end deployment.
