Summary
Maksim Pavlov is a seasoned AI and machine learning leader with 11 years of experience building production-grade ML platforms and revenue-driving models across retail and fintech. As CTO for AI Technologies at X5 and former ML manager at ShopBack, he has led teams of 50+ to deliver LLMs, CV, speech-to-text, recommender systems, antifraud, and large-scale demand forecasting that scaled from hundreds to tens of thousands of stores and SKUs.

Previously he delivered novel NLP solutions for SKU matching and people-analytics pipelines at Revolut, demonstrating a knack for connecting messy real-world data sources. Colleagues know him for pragmatically bridging research and engineering while cultivating internal platforms and GPU cloud capabilities. Outside work he’s the sort of engineer who appreciates “the smell of rosin,” suggesting an attention to craft and detail beyond code.
