Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristian Gilson is a data science leader and co-founder turned senior executive who blends rigorous physics training with hands-on machine learning to turn messy, unstructured information into auditable, high-value datasets. With eight years of industry experience progressing from data scientist roles at Winton to founding Hivemind and now serving as SVP, Data Scientist at Two Sigma, he has a proven track record of building teams and products used by institutional investors. His work has attracted strategic backers like Barclays, Fidelity and Winton and earned industry recognition such as FIA Innovator of the Year. Trained at the University of Bristol (first-class MSci in Physics) and further schooled in applied statistics and ML, he pairs deep quantitative foundations with practical systems for production data pipelines. Less obvious: he has applied his modelling skills to niche domains such as mathematical modelling of football, reflecting a curiosity for unconventional data problems.
