Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrancesco Farina is Head of AI Research based in London with 12 years of experience bridging academic rigor and product-focused machine learning across research labs, industry, and venture investing. A mathematician-turned-scientist who spent formative years as a postdoc and research associate, he later applied that quantitative depth as an AI Fellow at GSK and senior ML engineer roles before moving into investor and founder roles. He blends hands-on engineering (often building in Go) with strategic insight from stints at NVIDIA and multiple venture firms, uniquely comfortable switching between building models, shipping solutions, and evaluating startups. His background in music composition hints at a creative, pattern-oriented approach to problem solving that surfaces in both research and engineering.
