Ian Randolph

Head of Product and R&D, Tailify

Ian Randolph has been working at the intersection of behavioural science, data science, and business for the past decade. After degrees in Cognitive Science from Yale and Decision Science from the LSE, his first career project was to help design an algorithm for predicting the next Arab Spring as part of DARPA’s N2 programme.

He then took these insights working with tech companies in varied industries to build leading-edge data products, such as a virtual life coach which learns your personality, a fashion recommendation engine that knows what ‘sexy’ looks like, and a suite of features you’ve probably used if you’ve travelled by train in the UK.

Ian is currently the Head of Product and R&D for Tailify where he’s building a brain that measures the influence of social media creators.
