Claire Lebarz
Chief Data & AI Officer @Malt
I have been building AI and data products for 15 years. An engineer by training, I became interested very early on in applying mathematics to societal issues.
During my years in academia, economic empowerment was at the heart of my research. I studied the impact of increasing income and wealth inequalities, and I wanted to move from analyzing household balance sheets to improving them. I spent the next ten years in San Francisco, developing marketplaces that enable people to better use their assets: their cars (at Turo), their homes (at Airbnb). At Airbnb, we also focused heavily on enabling people to make a living from their passion through experiences.
I have now returned to France to be closer to my family and contribute to another disruptive marketplace, Malt, enabling people to make the best decisions about their most precious asset: their human capital, their talent and their time. Disruption and innovation often come with a downside, even with the best corporate mission. That's why I love data-related roles, because we can observe first-hand what's happening and influence the organization.
The ethical use of data and AI is also a major challenge, for which we need more brains. Join me on this adventure!
