Florian Berlinger is a technology-driven CEO and founder with nine years of experience bridging cutting-edge academic research and product-focused AI/fintech startups. A Harvard CS PhD who built and deployed bio-inspired multi-robot systems, he translated that expertise into data science and AI roles at Fidelity—shipping recommender systems, NLP solutions, and LLM guardrails—and now leads YELL to make personal and business finance more accessible. He cofounded RESE to democratize real-estate investing and has a track record of turning complex research (3D underwater swarm robotics and “Impressionist Algorithms”) into physical prototypes and production-ready software. Based in New York, Florian combines deep algorithmic knowledge with practical product execution and an appetite for building cross-disciplinary teams that move fast.
