Gabriele Dragotto

I founded a company called ZERO, where we transformed data to profitable decisions in grocery retail. I've worked across D2C, retail, and "boring businesses", shipping AI solutions that move tangible revenue. Once upon a time, I did research in Mathematical Optimization, Game Theory and Machine Learning. My work has been published in top journals such as Operations Research and Management Science, and several tutorials and books. I worked at Princeton as a Data X Postdoctoral Fellow at Princeton's Center for Statistics and Machine Learning and a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Princeton's Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering. I have a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Polytechnique Montreal, where I worked at the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Data Science for Real-Time Decision-Making on my thesis "Mathematical Programming Games". I was broadly interested in improving decision-making when there is plenty of data, competitive interactions, scarce resources, and limited time to make decisions. I also have a B.Sc. in Management Engineering and Computer Engineering from Politecnico di Torino, and I spent my Erasmus exchange at Tampere University of Technology. I grew up in Trofarello, a small town in the urban area surrounding Torino, in Northern Italy.
