#20 – David Der – CEO at Forestry Machine Learning

David is the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Forestry Machine Learning, which is a strategic partner for companies that seek to gain competitive advantage through data and artificial intelligence. Following the successful acquisition of his last startup and leading a consulting organization in Capital One's Center for Machine Learning, he wanted to get back to my passion as an entrepreneur. David is a former Director of Machine Learning at Capital One. His team, in the Center for Machine Learning, builds predictive solutions across lines of business including use cases in time series forecasting, anomaly detection, natural language and distributed model training. Prior to this role, he was a co-founder and chief operating officer of a boutique data agency called Notch which Capital One acquired in December of 2017.
