Summary
Clem Riedel is a Data Science Manager and former staff-level individual contributor with ~13 years of experience building and operationalizing ML systems that drive product and revenue impact. Now leading DSML for FinSec at Chime after scaling high-impact teams at Credit Karma, he translates strategic pillars into technical roadmaps, cross-team dependencies, and measurable product objectives. His work spans end-to-end modeling—propensity, approval-odds, recommender systems—and production practices like explainability, monitoring, and automated training. Trained as a physicist (PhD) with a Nature first-author paper and postdoctoral experience, Clem brings a rigorous experimental mindset to messy business problems. An Indian Ocean Islander from Réunion now in the Bay Area, he also co-founded Berkeley’s Machine Learning Group and champions broad access to data science through community projects like ds4all.io.
