Spencer Stirling is a product and AI leader with a PhD in mathematics who has spent 11+ years building and scaling ML-driven systems across gaming, advertising, mapping, and healthcare. He currently serves as Chief Product Officer and previously led a 30-person Decisioning team delivering realtime marketing infrastructure that messages hundreds of millions of users daily with advanced personalization. His career blends deep R&D—quantum foundations and high-performance C++/CUDA image processing—with production ML for matchmaking, anti-cheat, churn mitigation, LTV modeling, and computer-vision at companies like Activision, Uber, and DigitalGlobe. Spencer is comfortable moving between hands-on algorithm design and product leadership, having transitioned from senior IC roles to managing cross-functional teams that ship realtime, data-intensive systems. A less obvious strength is his ability to translate abstract mathematical and physics research into practical, high-throughput engineering solutions for commercial products.
