Chris BuettiCo Founder

United States - New York, New York,

Entrepreneur, data scientist, and software engineer with a keen interest in AI and marketing.

Currently, I am the CEO at Lionize, an advertising-technology company I founded with the goal of simplifying the influencer marketing process. Our proprietary software platform enables brands and agencies to increase productivity through automation and empowers data-driven decision-making. Our system allows marketers to seamlessly run more influencer campaigns from top to bottom faster, more efficiently, and with less effort.

I graduated from Wake Forest University in 2017 with a degree in Computational Mathematics & Statistics and a minor in Entrepreneurship. During my time there, I worked as an R programming tutor for the math department and my senior thesis "Calculating the Probability of NBA Field Goals Using Machine Learning Algorithms" was completed under the mentorship of Dr. Staci Hepler.

In the past, I've worked in engineering/data science at the NBA, NBC, and Dish Network. I recently published a top-read data science article on Medium.com, receiving over 250,000 reads and 10,000 claps in little over a month of publishing. My work was featured on the front page of BuzzFeed News, an NPR podcast, and in a live TV interview with Cheddar.
