A military veteran, published researcher, and clinician, Dr. Ryan Krebs is a respected thought leader at Oracle. His current focus as the Director of Data Science for the North America Cloud and Technology business is to work alongside the product and sales teams delivering high-value, cloud-based data science solutions for customers. Ryan’s passion is equal parts technical and managerial. A true believer in Deming and Sutherland’s Scrum, his leadership style reflects both a strong grounding in empirical philosophy and what Surowiecki calls “the wisdom of crowds.” An avid art enthusiast, his favorite artist is Franz Marc, he prefers Linux, and to quote Biz Stone, his daily ambition is to “embrace the upside of fantastic, epic, earth-shattering, life-changing failure.”
