Risk is often seen as a roadblock, when the real obstacle is the systems that drive risk decisions. Stuck between complex legacy tech and over-hyped AI, many financial services have stopped innovating their risk infrastructure altogether. I’m Maximilian Eber, Co-Founder of Taktile: an AI decision platform that removes friction between technical and non-technical teams to drive fast, transparent risk decisions. I’ve spent years bridging academic work in quantitative finance with real-world machine learning applications at leading financial institutions. That dual-experience taught me one thing: the people closest to the business problem should always drive the systems that solve it. Yet most risk teams still rely on engineers to make the smallest policy changes, while engineers are inundated by endless tedious requests. Risk is no longer a control function. From combating fraud to approving credit applications, these decisions are as integral to the user journey as UX. The companies that move fastest and most reliably on risk are the ones that drive loyalty. I’ve seen first hand how intelligent tech empowers companies to not just prevent bad decisions, but actively generate positive business impact. I’m here to help financial services companies: -Empower business operators to control risk decisioning -Align product, engineering, and risk teams for optimal customer experience -Cut through AI hype to find real-world solutions -Manage AI risk while unlocking its potential I’m your guide to the tech evolutions that are transforming risk, and how you can use them to your advantage.

I enjoy working on challenging problems that expand the frontier of what is possible. I find great reward in building systems that people enjoy to use. I have over 20 years experience as a machine learning engineer, distributed systems engineer, software engineer, data scientist, and network engineer. I have worked in the technology, internet, insurance, finance, mining, news media, mobile gaming, educational video distribution, computer hardware distribution, and education industries delivering high impact products that solve real customer needs using the latest and most advanced technologies. I was awarded a doctorate in computer science in the areas of machine learning and information retrieval resulting in 12 peer reviewed publications with over 300 citations. Many of these publications were in the highest ranked conferences in the field such as CIKM, SIGIR, and WWW. My thesis was nominated for an outstanding thesis award
