Gerald Klassen is a passionate practitioner of the dark arts of data alchemy - transforming base data into information gold. He has a long history of helping firms turn messy transactional data into information products that support improved operations, strategic decision making and customer service.

Gerald is a data visionary with a unique ability to evaluate data and design a solution to extract maximum value. In an AI world, GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out) still applies. It is crucial that the data design be solid before AI algorithms are applied or else the model will be questionable. Well designed data improves the success of AI initiatives.
Gerald is an avid student of the global monetary system. It is the cost and availability of money that drives economic activity. This lesson was drilled into him during his years in the securities lending industry during the Housing Bubble and Great Financial Crisis and once again during Quantitative Easing.
