Gilles Fayad

I spent my entire career launching new products. My track record has been to move up the food chain to successfully solve one problem after the other, and in doing so acquiring a broad technical expertise, managerial acumen, and international exposure. I am deeply fascinated with the impact of technology on society, complex mathematical problems, deep learning, reinforcement learning, and the relationship between form and function in design. I love sailing and diving, but you can lure me with a coffee into a game of chess, Go, or simply in a discussion on reinventing the world. Professional experience: strategy, business development, alliances and ecosystems, technology and product marketing, roadmaps, product development, new product introduction, product management, intellectual property, contracts negotiation, technology transfer, joint ventures, research & development, standards bodies, speakership, government policy, market development, technical marketing, technical sales, innovation, mentoring, advising, maker labs, and hackathons.
