Top SchoolChris Donais is a data-focused product leader with a decade-plus track record of turning AI, ML, and NLP research into tangible revenue and operational wins for enterprise customers. He has led cross-functional teams—from data scientists to sales engineers—driving product strategy, go-to-market execution, and large cost savings such as a 90% reduction in model processing costs and $200K annual savings. At SMG and Branch he shipped generative-AI and ROI-quantifying ML products that boosted client revenues (including a 25% lift in restaurant delivery) while embedding user feedback loops and benchmarking standards. Equally comfortable in technical interviews and board-level investor materials, he blends hands-on engineering experience with MBA-trained strategic planning and P&L accountability. A global operator who has worked across Europe, Asia, and Africa, he is known for building trust-based relationships and negotiating complex deals.
