Top SchoolB Ewing is a data-driven technology leader with 10+ years at Eastman Chemical, where he built and scaled analytics teams from hands-on statisticians into cross-functional data science and ML groups. As Digital Business Manager – R&D he spearheads digital transformation for innovation and R&D, delivering FAIR data platforms, in silico experimentation, and lab-friendly virtual assistants that accelerate materials development. He combines deep applied statistics and machine learning with pragmatic engineering—authoring R/Python tooling, architecting serverless Bayesian and XGBoost solutions, and deploying CI/CD and graph/document databases to solve hard industrial problems. His teams’ R-based analytics stack and Shiny applications are embedded in daily business use, driving measurable impact (notably double-digit forecasting improvements and millions in recovered value). Known for coaching non-statisticians into productive data scientists and for breaking into resistant parts of the business with fast prototypes, he balances creativity with rigorous communication to make analytics stick. Based in Kingsport, TN, he pairs academic training in applied statistics with an engineer’s appetite for building practical, production-ready ML systems.
