Philip serves as the CEO and a board member of Datavations. His passion lies in helping industrial giants adopt data science and AI. He sets the company's vision and strategy and is deeply involved across all facets of operations — from sales to engineering. His core strengths include building exceptional teams by recruiting the right people for the right roles and forging high-value partnerships with both investors and customers.

Born and raised in Sweden, Philip gained a firsthand view of manufacturing leadership through his father's consulting work. Before graduating from Colgate University, he spent his summers interning in IT at Deutsche Bank, working at a hedge fund, and participated in a recruiting program for three-letter agencies in North Africa — experiences that shaped his unique perspective at the intersection of industrials, financial data, and intelligence.

Philip previously worked at Vista Equity-owned 7 Park Data, where he was ranked in the top 1% of employees and served as a quantitative analyst. There, he provided financial predictions to clients like Citadel, Tiger, and Point72, leveraging both primary and secondary data to forecast consumer and industrial stock performance.

Before launching Datavations full-time, Philip built his own machine learning model to predict revenues for industrial and consumer companies — achieving a sub-1% error rate across five consecutive quarters. To keep costs down, he constructed the supporting infrastructure using Raspberry Pis stored in a basement for cooling. This prototype secured initial funding for Datavations and helped him turn down acquisition offers from hedge funds in favor of building a platform that empowers Fortune 500 manufacturers to optimize their businesses with data-driven retail insights.
