Jennifer is the founder and CEO of Alectio, the first startup focused on automated data curation and data collection optimization. She and her team are on a mission to help ML teams build models more efficiently by challenging the long held belief that more data is a prerequisite to increasing the performance of an ML model. Prior to starting Alectio, Jennifer was the VP of Machine Learning at Figure Eight; she also built the first ML department from scratch at Atlassian, and pioneered ML Ops at Walmart Labs. She is an accomplished speaker who enjoys addressing both technical and non-technical audiences, in particular on the topics of data strategy, AI literacy, AI ethics and the empowerment of women in Tech.
