Top SchoolVaughn Dimarco is an AI strategist and advisor with 12 years of hands-on experience building machine learning systems, data platforms, and the organizational infrastructure that enables enterprise AI at scale. He has led investment due diligence for a $35M AI fund, evaluated hundreds of startups across computer vision, NLP and automation, and helped founder-led teams commercialize production ML across manufacturing, retail and digital platforms. A founder of MTLDATA, he built one of Canada’s largest ML communities (10,000+ members) and regularly connected research-calibre talent with industry through events alongside NeurIPS and MILA. Vaughn pairs early-stage venture and M&A experience with operational delivery—moving from founding AI consultancies to heading growth and deal teams at XMachina and advising decentralized AI research at Gatewayz.
