When a new executive arrives, what happens to the people already there? This project asks whether an executive’s pre-hire assessment — structured interviews, transcribed and coded, together with the career history — predicts how the incumbent workforce is redeployed after entry: who moves internally, who is hired, who leaves, and how the mix of roles shifts. It extends the redeployability question from the founder to the incoming executive.

The company builds AI assessment software for private equity firms. Its product predicts executive performance from structured interview data and guides interviewers toward the follow-up questions that matter. The models sit on a matrix of outcomes and evidence, from career histories through short and long interview transcripts, each with its own validation protocol, and the product is in beta with clients.

I lead all of the modeling work: measurement design, model development, validation, and research and development.
