Executive Vice President and co-founder @ GNS Healthcare is a healthcare big data analytics company that has developed an industrialized knowledge-discovery platform to extract cause-effect relationships directly – and at scale – from observational data. My goal is to leverage these capabilities to transform medicine from an expert-driven field – with poor predictive power and large gaps in its fundamental understanding of human biology – and transforming it into a data-driven predictive science – with a more complete understanding of the mechanisms of disease and response to interventions. From April 2010 to Present (5 years 9 months) Board member and co-founder @ New Libya Foundation's mission is to nurture the successful development of civil society organizations in Libya through training, education, access to resources and financial assistance. Our vision is broad with our immediate focus on: Civic engagement, inclusiveness, and association. From February 2011 to Present (4 years 11 months) Executive Vice President and co-founder @ Via Science is a big data analytics company that helps companies predict the future. Via has developed a patented software platform that helps clients better understand the causal relationships in their data that support predictions relevant to everyday business issues.
