Top SchoolGretel De Paepe is a Senior Manager in AI Engineering with over two decades of hands-on experience turning messy real-world data into production-ready AI solutions. She progressed from data analyst to data scientist and manager, and now leads AI initiatives at Collibra where her discovery projects have spawned multiple patent applications.
