Urbint
Lindsay Jenkins is VP for strategy and technical operations at Urbint.
How often do we meet someone for the first time and come away thinking, whoa, that guy (of either gender) is a genius? Well, that's what happened when we got to talk with Dr. Lindsay Jenkins, a Vanderbilt Ph.D. in civil engineering, no less, who as you can see in our discussion recounted below, has applied her smarts to safety.
Specifically, protecting the safety of the workforce, which is no coincidence because her dad's career was in utility field work. Dr. Jenkins and her team at Urbint use artificial intelligence to assess the risk of unsafe outcomes in extraordinary detail, but there's nothing artificial about how they come at this very important task.
PUF's Steve Mitnick: What's your typical day like as VP of Strategy and Technical Operations at Urbint?
Lindsay Jenkins: I'm a bit of a bridge between our corporate strategy and where we're going from a product perspective, as well as engaging with our clients and supporting implementations and understanding our client needs.
I also work with our machine learning team on model support. On a typical day I might be meeting with a client and checking in with them on the effectiveness of their programs.
