Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Elliott is a Director of Data Science with 14 years of experience building ML and analytics teams from the ground up and driving data-informed decisions at consumer-facing companies. He has led large organizations (35+ engineers and scientists) and shaped billion-dollar content allocation through applied ML and causal analytics at Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Max, and now builds StubHub’s data science practice for large-scale consumer data. Trained as a physicist with a PhD and early research in gamma-ray bursts, he combines rigorous statistical thinking with production-grade engineering—having built AWS-backed microservices and search systems during an academic-to-industry transition. Jonathan pairs technical depth with executive training (Executive MBA, UCLA Anderson) to translate models into measurable business impact and to scale teams rapidly in fast-growth settings. An analytical leader who still codes, he is equally comfortable designing experiments, deploying models, and setting strategy across product, content, and marketing domains.
