Aboitiz Data Innovation (ADI) officially announced the appointment of Nicolas Paris to the role of Chief Technology and Data Officer. Paris will play a critical role in advancing ADI’s move towards operationalizing the organization’s Data Science and AI (DSAI) products.

Paris joins ADI with over 18 years of experience in DSAI and software engineering. He was recently the Head of Product Engineering & Management at CloudCover, a cloud-native solutions company that builds and manages systems for high-growth startups and agile enterprises. He recently built a state of the art cloud data platform at CloudCover and oversaw the production of data pipes together with a team of software engineers over a period of two years.

“I am excited to join ADI, an organization that believes in developing and deploying its own AI/ML technologies and models to make life easier and better for all. ADI has an impressive depth and variety of use cases across different industries, giving me the opportunity to use my expertise in machine learning to operationalize innovative products that drive better outcomes for businesses and communities,” said Paris.

Prior to joining CloudCover, Paris was Chief Technology Officer at Healint, a Healthtech startup, where he and his teams created ML models helping millions of chronic patients improve their quality of life.

This strategic appointment further strengthens ADI’s innovation footprint and presence across key industries in the region following the appointment of Alvin Ng, General Manager for Smart Cities earlier this year.

Commenting on Paris’ new position, ADI Chief Executive Officer Dr. David R. Hardoon said, “I am excited to work with Nicolas to further ADI’s mission to advance business and communities through DSAI and create a sustainable data culture by leveraging machine learning. I believe Nicolas will be a valuable addition to the growing ADI team.”
