Jiaxi Zhu

I’m an analytics and AI leader focused on helping organizations turn complex data and emerging technologies into better decisions at scale. I currently serve as Head of Analytics at Google, where I lead analytics strategy for large-scale commercial operations supporting millions of businesses in the digital economy. My work sits at the intersection of AI, analytics, data governance, and decision-making, with a strong focus on making advanced systems usable, trustworthy, and operationally effective.

Beyond my day job, I’m active in the broader analytics and AI community as an author, judge, mentor, guest lecturer, and professional society leader. My work has been published in MIT Sloan Management Review, INFORMS Analytics Magazine, and CDO Magazine, where I write about decision-centric analytics, AI scaling, and executive-facing data strategy. I also serve in judging and leadership roles with organizations such as INFORMS, including the Franz Edelman Award and the Innovative Applications in Analytics Award, which gives me direct visibility into how leading organizations are applying AI and analytics in practice.

I’ve also guest lectured in university analytics programs and have been featured in professional media and podcast interviews discussing analytics leadership, AI adoption, and data-driven decision-making. I’m especially interested in the frontier where emerging technology meets real-world adoption.
