A little bit about me:

My name is Arvind Thinagarajan, and I have the privilege of leading a talented team of AI and analytics experts who provide rapid, actionable insights, fostering a culture of data-driven decision-making across ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵ’s organizations.

My ethos is to champion continuous learning over static knowledge, prioritize progress over perfection, and maintain an unwavering focus on achieving business outcomes.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me hanging out with my family, playing sports, or chatting endlessly about AI.

Describe a ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵ Project that inspires you.

In 2023, ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵ’s AI Council was founded to provide guidance and oversight of AI. With representation from all functional areas and including broad expertise relating to AI and other relevant topics, we work to establish best inclusive practices, policies, and frameworks that ensure AI technologies are developed and deployed responsibly, ethically, safely, and efficiently.

At the start of 2024, the AI Council launched five committees that will help to shape how ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵ governs AI at the Company. I co-lead the committee for Continuous Monitoring & Audits to support the education, transparency, tracking, evaluation, and controls that allow for ongoing responsible AI use.

Meeting in person with colleagues is great for building trust and understanding what motivates each of us.

DS Race car

Our data science team won a pixel art contest to design our potential team logo. Aligned with our vision, we created a race car to symbolize our commitment to delivering results that are both fast and impactful.

My two kids and three dogs keep us on our toes outside of work. They ground us and remind us of the little joys that make life worthwhile.
