Alex is academically well qualified to talk on Data & Management Science. But unlike many technical boffins you may find at conferences, Alex is an articulate business leader. He shares relevant examples and management advice on data science applications and influencing wider culture. If you are running an event for senior analytics leaders, then I strongly recommend Alex as a speaker.I recommend Alex as an engaging and very knowledgable speaker.

      • “I was an IBM internal client of Dr. Borek’s in 2013. Any company with a large distribution channel faces data challenges supporting sales of products and services through value-added resellers, such sales being once (sometimes twice) removed from the original manufacturer’s sales organization. We typically sell to the IBM Business Partner (BP) who in turn sells to the client generating all manner of sales data IBM never sees. I engaged Dr. Borek’s services to help my team find new ways to analyze a vast trove of internal data on sales to BPs and create actionable intelligence for the IBM channel sales team. The data analytic tools (especially IBM SPSS) and fresh perspective Dr. Borek brought to the engagement generated immediate insights about our high and low performing partners and our manner of interacting with them. With the learning gained we continue to expand the model generating new insights in his absence. Alex is a collaborator and thought leader I’d work with again any time.”
