2024 Top Consultants: John Collins

I am an AI consulting visionary with a passion for harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to drive transformative change. With a background as a professional athlete and a quantitative risk manager at leading global investment banks, I have honed my drive, discipline and analytical skills. My Ph.D. from EDHEC Business School, under the guidance of renowned econometrician Professor Laurent Calvet, deepened my understanding of financial mathematics and the importance of immersing oneself in a model to truly understand it.

As the founder of Deep Vertical AI, I am committed to redefining the boundaries of AI consulting by delivering cutting-edge, bespoke solutions that address the unique challenges of our clients. My proudest achievement, Deep Vertical AI embodies my vision for the future of AI and serves as a platform for innovation, collaboration and excellence.

Throughout my career, I have been guided by the best advice I've ever received: to stay true to my vision and values. Being nominated for a consulting industry award is a humbling recognition of my dedication and the impact I have made in the field. I am driven by a passion for pushing the boundaries of AI and inspiring others to do the same.
