Greg Fletcher, CTO & Co-Founder @ Ocula
From obtaining my PhD in experimental particle physics to leading teams of data scientists and engineers, I’ve always been curious about how we can use cutting-edge scientific methods to drive meaningful results. Throughout my career I’ve seen the remarkable impact of AI on the retail space. However, I believe that we now need to democratise this transformative capability.
That’s why I founded Ocula Technologies with my co-Founder Thomas McKenna. Together, we’re revolutionising the e-commerce customer experience with Ocula, applying our manifesto of Actionable AI Today.
