Ioannis Bekas
Data Scientist & AI Developer
Data Scientist & AI Developer with 9+ years of experience delivering high-impact analytical, customer-insight, and product-innovation work. Responsible for managing projects and implementing solutions.
Experience
My expertise spans data engineering, statistical analysis, artificial intelligence, and interactive data visualization, with a focus on building advanced analytical tools and scalable data models for predictive analytics and automation.
My background bridges major international organizations—including the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) and the United Nations Women organization—with private-sector enterprises. Across these environments, I have structured large-scale datasets, established robust data governance frameworks, and deployed end-to-end business intelligence architectures.
In parallel, I advise cross-functional teams and leadership across North America and Europe on high-impact data initiatives—helping organizations leverage state-of-the-art tooling, modern data stacks, and emerging AI frameworks—supporting global brands including Fujitsu, LG, Nespresso, Collins Aerospace, Coca-Cola, and PepsiCo, as well as high-growth SMEs.
