Summary
Zheng Gong is a product manager with 14 years of experience specializing in data governance, privacy and security, currently designing enterprise-grade solutions at Baidu to protect and enable data assets. He led the development of Data Shield and Trust-ML, a federated learning–based trusted computing approach that keeps training data in place to preserve privacy and reduce communication costs. With an MS in Information Systems from University of Maryland and a BBA from Tsinghua, he blends rigorous academic research—having scraped and modeled hundreds of gigabytes of Pinterest data and mined millions of medical device reports—with hands-on product delivery. Earlier roles span payments, mobile gaming and digital strategy, where he applied analytics, SQL/VBA automation and A/B-informed product improvements that cut review time and boosted engagement. Comfortable bridging research, engineering and business stakeholders, he’s drawn to imaginative data science applications and practical solutions that make sensitive data useful rather than just locked down. Colleagues describe him as curious and analytical, able to translate complex privacy constraints into deployable ML and product features.
