Experience. Independence. Perspective.

In 2016, Robert (Bob) Grossman founded Analytic Strategy Partners LLC so that he could leverage his industry experiences for over 25 years to help companies with their analytic strategies, analytic operations, analytic governance, and analytic acquisitions.

Bob’s first big data project was the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC), which was a particle accelerator with a planned ring circumference of 87.1 kilometers (54.1 mi) and an energy of 20 TeV per proton. Bob led one of the data analytics research teams (the PASS Project) from 1990 until the project was cancelled due to its cost in 1993.

In 1995, Bob took the lessons learned from the PASS Project and founded Magnify, Inc. Magnify was a venture backed startup and Bob was its CEO until 2001. Magnify was one of the first companies to deploy commercially technology for building machine learning models that were too large to fit into the memory of a single computer. Magnify was sold to ChoicePoint in 2003.

From 2001 to 2015, Bob was the Founder and Managing Partner of Open Data Group. Open Data Group provided data science consulting services to a wide variety of companies, including those in financial services, computational advertising, cybersecurity, location services, and logistics. In 2015, Open Data Group refocused on its analytic deployment engine FastScore and merged to become ModelOp.
