John Dryden, Lead Insights Data Scientist based in our Los Angeles office, spent 10 years working in various data scientist roles in retail education and aerospace before joining Bain in 2022. Initially interested in international relations and chemical engineering, John eventually found his passion in industrial engineering, focusing on data-driven solutions. His expertise has proven invaluable at Bain, highlighted by his win at Bain’s Global Hackathon.
John won the global hackathon by creating CreationSpace, a consumer insights platform that uses generative AI to predict consumer reactions to new products. The idea came out of the collaboration within his entire hackathon team, formed by elements of all of their prior experiences. CreationSpace, formerly known as Seer, is now part of our Founder's Studio, Bain's incubator that focuses on ideating and building disruptive technology ventures, and will soon spin out as a standalone startup. Listen to John’s journey from a decade in industry to joining consulting, and how his decision to join Bain helped him develop a tech startup.
John isn't the only data scientist who has stopped by the show to share their Bain experience. After hearing from John, listen to our episode with Sharona Sankar-King on why more data scientists are coming to Bain.
