Summary
Eric Bruno is a machine learning scientist and leader with 8+ years in industry and a two-decade research pedigree, currently heading ML for Lodging Pricing & Competitive Intelligence at Expedia Group. He combines deep expertise in mathematical modeling, optimization and causal inference with hands-on production skills in Python, Spark, PyTorch and distributed systems to drive dynamic pricing and lifetime-value initiatives. Previously he led AI research and data-science teams at Firmenich, translating sensory, chemical and consumer-insight problems into deployable ML solutions for product creation and process optimization. His academic background (PhD in signal processing and computer vision) and early work in signal/image processing give him a rare blend of theoretical rigor and applied system design. Comfortable moving between research questions—recommendations, search and causal modeling—and production constraints, he excels at turning complex domain science (chemistry/biology and human perception) into scalable pricing and intelligence products. Based in Geneva, he pairs cross-functional leadership with a track record of delivering ML systems that impact both business metrics and product innovation.
