Freightvine

This week’s guest is Gonzalo Cordova, Director of Decision Science and Automation at The Home Depot. Gonzalo has a long history of solving business and supply chain problems using sophisticated analytical methods. After finishing his MS at GaTech in 2005, he worked for companies as varied as GE Energy, Lafarge, Coca-Cola, and The Home Depot. His current role is leading the team that is applying AI, and other analytical methods they have in their tool belt, to solve various challenges within the company. Gonzalo and his team’s approach is a problem first rather than leading with a set methodology. In our conversation, Gonzalo offers his definition of AI and talks through examples of its success and other areas where it was not.
