Samvel Mkhitaryan is a senior people data scientist and systems thinker with a decade of experience applying behavioural science, machine learning, and causal methods to HR, product, and public health problems. With a PhD from Maastricht and interdisciplinary training spanning psychology, public health, and Gestalt psychotherapy, he translates rich behavioural theory into practical predictive models and actionable product insights. He has combined research and hands-on delivery at organisations like Rabobank and UN agencies, while co-founding EdMap to bring learning-focused tech to market.
