Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEvan Coopersmith is a data science founder and executive with 11+ years building predictive models across domains from precision agriculture and hydrology to trading, pricing optimization, and customer analytics. He founded Prognostic Data Solutions and Soil Insight, led advanced analytics at GLG and AE Studio, and has deployed models for peer-reviewed research, hedge fund trading, and enterprise decision support. Trained as a PhD environmental systems analyst with a Princeton undergrad in ORFE, he blends rigorous academic methods with pragmatic product and business thinking. Evan teaches and mentors data scientists, has created curricula for doctoral and senior professionals, and routinely translates complex math into operational forecasts and pricing strategies. Less obvious: he pairs quantitative rigor with a writer’s temper—publishing essays and satire on technology and futurism—so he brings both analytic depth and contrarian narrative sense to leadership.
