Haldo Spontón
Head of AI Development at Globant
Artificial intelligence is changing the technological scenario as we know it, and the development of data science as a practice is one of the key factors for this evolution. Rooted in this conviction, I belong to the team that leads the practice of Data Science and the Artificial Intelligence Studio, and I lead every AI-related internal initiative within Globant, a world-class company, with more than 8,000 people in 14 countries.
I focus on Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Artificial Intelligence algorithms, with particular interest in the analysis of unstructured data for later insight discovery and decision making (audio, images and video processing, etc.). All this, without losing sight of the business objectives and strategy, which are key to the successful implementation of these algorithms.
Previously, I worked for 6 years as a teacher and researcher at the Engineering School (Montevideo), as part of the Signal Processing Department and the Audio Processing Group, and at the École Normale Supérieure de Cachán (Paris), as part of of the Center for Applied Mathematics (CMLA).
Always deepening knowledge in entrepreneurship, technology business strategy, and startup ecosystem. Enjoy music, photography, motorbikes, and technological innovation.
Co-author of the book “Embracing the Power of AI: a Gentle CXO Guide” (ISBN: 978-1-944903-52-7). Keynote speaker in events and conferences, spreading the word for a data-driven mindset.
