Top SchoolClaire Saint-donat is a product-minded data science and AI leader with eight years of experience building analytical teams and delivering AI-driven solutions across private equity, healthcare, consumer products, and finance. As Head of Data Science & AI at Bain Capital, she combines rigorous econometric and machine-learning expertise with operational experience from roles at Blackstone, Flatiron Health, and Spotify to translate complex signals into actionable investment and product decisions. She has a strong foundation in forecasting, causal impact analysis, and sales/portfolio analytics developed leading cross-functional projects at New Avon and Verisk, and she mentors teams to apply hypothesis-driven, business-focused modeling. Based in San Francisco with formal training from NYU and MIT in data science and machine learning, she’s equally comfortable briefing boards on strategic analytics as she is iterating experimental models in Python and SQL.
