BounceX Adds Kiril Tsemekhman as VP of Data Science and Engineering

Kiril Tsemekhman Is a Former Ad-Tech Executive Brings over 15 Years of Experience to the Rapidly Growing Company

BounceX has hired Kiril Tsemekhman as the Vice President of Data Science and Engineering. An industry leader in physics, data science, machine learning and analytics, Kiril Tsemekhman was formerly the Chief Data Officer at Integral Ad Science. He was also the CTO at Red Aril, which was acquired by iCrossing/Hearst in 2011.

Kiril Tsemekhman is an important hire for BounceX as they swiftly grow their data science team, amongst others including their product, customer success and business development teams. The company recently announced $37 million in funding and over the next two years plans to expand to 600 employees globally, with a concentration in its NYC and UK offices.

Kiril Tsemekhman’s Addition Would Allow BounceX to Expand Product Offering and Bring More Value to Clients

At the time of this announcement, Ryan Urban, CEO and co-founder of BounceX, said, “Kiril was the obvious choice for this hire. His leadership experience and understanding of data will bring a new powerhouse team to the company, allowing us to expand our product offering and bring more value to our clients.”

At the leading People-Based Marketing (PBM) cloud company, Kiril Tsemekhman will spearhead the creation of BounceX’s data science and data engineering team, which will power the company’s product suite, including driving research that will be the basis of future products.

“With the massive amount of e-commerce data at BounceX’s disposal, we have the opportunity to build machine learning systems that will allow our company to serve our clients in an exponentially better way, drastically scaling their revenue and understanding of their consumers,” Tsemekhman said.

During his tenure at Integral Ad Science, Tsemekhman scaled his team from just two people to a 40 person team of data scientists, engineers and analysts. At BounceX, he hopes to scale his team in the same manner.

“To create and grow our data science capabilities, we are looking for passionate analytical thinkers with a practical mindset, good coders and scientists at heart — people who want to prove themselves, challenge themselves and learn,” Tsemekhman said.

The new VP of Data Science and Engineering added, “Data science is not simply writing a code to predict various events; these positions require people who can truly understand and tell a story using data, and explain behaviors or observations using machine learning techniques.”
