Leadership · Entrepreneurship · Data Science
Griffin Salyer
Data scientist, leader, and entrepreneur. I combine deep technical expertise in machine learning and advanced analytics with the leadership and entrepreneurial drive to build data organizations from the ground up.
Core Vision
Three Pillars
Leadership
Building and mentoring high-performing data teams. Partnering with executive stakeholders to translate analytical complexity into clear strategy, and fostering cultures where data-driven thinking becomes second nature.
Entrepreneurship
Standing up data science functions where none existed — defining strategy, building infrastructure, and creating organizational capability from scratch. Treating every new role as a venture to build, not just a position to fill.
Data Science
Production-grade machine learning, predictive modeling, and advanced analytics — built end-to-end from data engineering through deployment. Deep technical fluency in Python, SQL, Spark, and the modern ML stack.

The Hardest Problems in Data Are Not Technical — They Are Organizational
Technical skill gets you in the room. Leadership and entrepreneurial thinking are what build something lasting. Across pharmaceuticals, insurance, and finance, I've combined deep data science expertise with the drive to stand up new functions, lead cross-functional teams, and create organizational capability where none existed — turning data from a support function into a strategic advantage.
