We are ecstatic to announce 3 new senior hires to add to our already impressive arsenal over here at Sociocast and we opened a San Francisco office this week too! Sociocast just went national. You may have come across the announcement on citybizlist.com sometime late last week. Steve Morin, Alex Bernstein and Deniz Sarioz have joined the Sociocast team at a very exciting time and individually each brings a great deal of expertise in their respective fields.
Steve Morin joins us as VP of Product Development and brings a swath of experience with him from his time at Yahoo, AT&T, and his natural entrepreneur instinct. Prior to Sociocast Steve worked at AT&T Interactive as Director of Engineering for Advanced Advertising Solutions. He worked at Yahoo! for many years on their Mobile Search Marketing Platform, and was one of the founding members and leading architects at Buysight. Steve will be working out of the Sociocast San Francisco office.
Alex Bernstein has joined the Business Development team. Alex recently graduated with an M.B.A from NYU’s prestigious Leonard N. Stern School of Business. He is bringing a great depth of knowledge and experience from his time at Merrill Lynch and Groupon China. Alex enthusiastically acknowledges how his past roles and opportunities have helped develop his awareness of different company profiles and the importance of adapting business frameworks for different audiences, whether it is a hedge fund trader, a local merchant, or an online advertiser
Deniz Sarioz is our first Data Scientist to join the team! He just recently defended his Computer Science Ph.D. dissertation under the supervision of the infamous Janos Pach. Deniz has taught undergraduate courses at both the Brooklyn College Computer and Information Science Department, and the Hunter College Department of Computer Science. He has co-authored well over 10 fascinating papers on graphs and various other subjects in the field. Deniz is proud to have an Erdos number of 2, and will undoubtedly bring his experience and perseverance in problem solving to Sociocast.
We welcome Steve, Alex, and Deniz to Sociocast Family!
