Scott Rickard, PhD

CEO
e14 AI

Scott Rickard has a notable and diverse career path in the field of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science. As the CEO of e14 AI Inc., Dr. Rickard focuses on deciphering brain signals using AI and machine learning technologies. This role follows his tenure as the Chief Data Scientist at Citadel, where he was instrumental in developing a central machine learning, AI, and data science team. Before Citadel, Scott held the position of CTO and SVP for Data Science at Salesforce.

Dr. Rickard's leadership experience includes serving as the CEO of Probability Dynamics, a hedge fund based in Dublin's International Financial Services Centre (IFSC). In academia, he was a professor in the School of Electronic, Electrical and Communications Engineering at University College Dublin (UCD).
