Top SchoolSam Swift is a Head of Engineering and data science leader with 15 years of experience applying behavioral science, machine learning, and reproducible analytics to operationalize complex products across energy, agriculture, and fintech. A PhD from Carnegie Mellon in organizational behavior, he has scaled data and engineering organizations at companies like Arcadia, Bowery, Betterment, and Sealed—leading teams that delivered production ML, regulatory-grade data systems, and enterprise integrations. He pairs rigorous academic insight into how people make decisions with pragmatic product and engineering execution, from architecting utility-scale data ecosystems to building mobile B2SMB experiences for contractors. As a former CTO and frequent advisor, he blends product, design, and technical leadership to drive measurable impact on mission-driven businesses. An underappreciated strength is his track record in negotiation education and forecasting research, which informs hiring, cross-functional influence, and decision-quality improvements in fast-moving startups. Based in New York, he also launches small experimental products through his studio, Wallabout Studios, pursuing ideas that are useful even before they’re profitable.
