Senior🎓
Top SchoolErik Mathiesen-dreyfus is a data science leader and founder with a decade of experience building ML-driven analytics and risk systems, currently Head of Data Science at Frisbii after joining via the acquisition of his startup Infer. He has a rare blend of quantitative finance pedigree—roles in FX, commodity and cross-asset derivatives at firms like BNP Paribas and Standard Chartered—and entrepreneurial product experience founding multiple AI startups including Octavia.ai and Infer. Erik designs production ML and analytics platforms that bridge rigorous probabilistic modelling with fast, user-facing insights for analysts and payments businesses. He holds a PhD in Mathematics and Computer Science from Queen Mary University and is based in Paris, bringing both academic depth and hands-on engineering to leadership. A less obvious thread across his career is his consistent focus on turning complex, market-facing math into practical products that scale from SMEs to enterprise use cases.
