Summary
Pavel Logačev is a senior data scientist based in Berlin with 11 years of experience turning messy, sparse, or irregular data into profitable pricing and forecasting decisions for retail, F&B, B2B and B2C clients. He combines Bayesian modeling, advanced statistics and machine learning to solve hard problems like pricing products with little sales history, estimating willingness-to-pay without experiments, and forecasting in low-volume markets. Pavel has led end-to-end deployments and scalable pipelines that directly improved revenue and margins, mentored teams in applied Bayesian methods, and translated academic rigor from a PhD in cognitive science into practical commercial impact. His background in cognitive science and eye-tracking research gives him an uncommon edge in modeling human behavior and willingness-to-pay, bridging behavioral insight with robust predictive systems. Now at Sell Smart, he focuses on delivering actionable, business-ready pricing solutions that work even when data is imperfect.
