Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Usherwood is an AI Lab Manager and product-focused leader with 10 years’ experience designing and scaling data science and ML teams across LATAM and global organisations. He has transformed research groups into SaaS-focused, commercially-driven labs—growing UL’s cross-functional AI team to ~30 engineers and ensuring every initiative either delivers measurable value or is quickly killed. Known for encoding vision into repeatable process, he built “agile for data science” workflows, separated lifecycle phases for clearer delivery, and introduced role changes that improved business alignment and retention. Previously as Head of Data Science at AMARO he rebuilt a failing team, hired PhD talent, and delivered recommendation systems that doubled or dramatically increased conversion while cutting costs. He pairs hands-on NLP and MLOps experience with product instincts and a physics-trained analytical mindset, often translating model metrics into business KPIs. Based in São Paulo, he combines academic rigor with pragmatic execution to turn ambiguous AI research into scalable commercial outcomes.
