I'm Gustavo Trigos, a tech entrepreneur and data scientist based in San Francisco, California. I'm the CEO and co-founder of Mentum, a Y Combinator-backed startup using AI to automate supply chain workflows. Previously, Mentum built data orchestration SaaS for some of Latin America's largest wealth managers, processing hundreds of thousands of investment data monthly. Born in Barranquilla, Colombia and raised in Lima and Mexico City, I taught myself to code in high school, diving into C++ as my first language (a tough start!). My interest in machine learning and natural language processing began in 2018, leading to a project I coded on fake news detection that was later cited in several academic journals. I earned a Bachelor's in Finance and a Master of Science in Applied Statistics at Hult. Prior to Mentum, I worked as a quantitative analyst at BlackRock and interned as a data scientist at an AI startup and a fintech company. I write about AI, supply chains, and startup life on LinkedIn. Beyond tech, I'm an avid reader of non-fiction—history, psychology, biographies, economics, and philosophy—and classic literature. You can follow my latest reads on Goodreads. I am also a cinephile, cook, and big outdoors enthusiast (hiking, cycling, and rock climbing). Let's connect!
