Jacob has always been at the pinnacle of statistical thinking and artificial intelligence from academia (top of the university in his degree) into commercial roles. Never resting on his laurels, Jacob took on more postgraduate degrees and study to get (what I believe) is one of the most complete understandings of modern computing and AI theory and techniques. It was therefore no surprise to see him and his company continue to win multiple awards. Raw talent, incredible academic understanding, sharp commercial acumen and being an amazing human to be around makes Jacob in a very small group of proper thought leaders in this space.
