Summary
Trung Nguyen is a Principal Data Scientist and AI leader with 13+ years of experience turning research-grade machine learning into business impact across fintech, insurance, telco, edtech and SaaS. He combines a PhD in machine learning with hands-on delivery of end-to-end ML systems—from model design and MLOps to cloud deployment and API-first microservices—while driving product vision and stakeholder alignment. Trung has repeatedly led teams to commercial outcomes (including $10M+ incremental value in APAC) and shipped LLM-powered products such as conversational tutors, automated feedback tools, and an LLM-driven language-learning app. As a people-focused manager and founder, he blends startup scrappiness with enterprise rigour, building high-performing teams and scalable processes. He’s as comfortable fine-tuning deep models and architecting pipelines as he is translating technical trade-offs for execs and customers.
