Brian Lafayette, head of business strategy at Overstory, works with customers, data scientists and industry experts to develop new, data driven, best practices for utilities. He recently proved a framework for determining which circuits will contribute most to SAIDI is more than 45% better than the time of last trim (AKA a standard cycle). Currently, Brian is developing better ways to predict and prevent wildfires. Prior to joining Overstory, Brian worked in management consulting and helped run the social network, Meetup—founding the data science team and running both consumer and B2B business units. He’s happiest solving hard problems with great people and great data. Come find him and be the first to say hello; he can be a bit shy!
