Top SchoolKris Bennatti is the co-founder and CEO of Hudson Labs, where she builds high-precision, LLM-powered research tools that meet the factuality and auditability needs of capital markets. With eight years of experience spanning AI research, NLP, and data science, she blends ex-CPA rigor with hands-on programming and statistical expertise to translate complex financial filings into actionable signals for investors. Her background includes applied roles at KPMG and Hansell McLaughlin, plus teaching Python and contributing to data governance research, giving her rare fluency across accounting, regulatory controls, and machine learning. Kris founded Hudson Labs from a research team in 2019 and launched the first investment research platform fully powered by LLMs in 2021, showing a practical focus on production-grade AI for finance.
