Speaker: Irv Lustig, PhD, Optimization Principal, Princeton Consultants

You Can Sell and Deploy Successful Optimization Solutions

Most optimization practitioners have a good understanding of how to build a model, and write code to integrate that model with data to solve an optimization problem.  However, challenges remain for many practitioners when it comes to having those models used in practice. The challenges are first with respect to selling the project, and then secondly, deploying the model into a real application. Based on years of delivering optimization projects, Dr. Lustig will describe a number of best practices used by Princeton Consultants to sell and deploy optimization solutions.

Dr. Irvin Lustig is the optimization principal at Princeton Consultants, where he leads the sales and development of Princeton’s optimization-based solutions across a wide variety of industries. He is an INFORMS Fellow and Certified Analytics Practitioner. Before joining Princeton, he was in IBM Research investigating the integration of predictive and prescriptive analytics. Prior to IBM Research, he was a sales leader responsible for integrating ILOG’s optimization and visualization businesses into IBM. At ILOG, he held numerous roles from Product Management to being the Vice President of ILOG Direct at the time of the IBM acquisition of ILOG.  He is one of the original developers of IBM ILOG CPLEX. He earned a PhD in Operations Research from Stanford University where his thesis was supervised by George Dantzig, the “father of linear programming”.
