Bio: Angela Virtu joined Kogod's IT&A Department as a Professorial Lecturer in 2023. She has taught undergraduate and graduate courses covering topics such as introduction to technology, data analytics, machine learning, and coding.

She was able to drive business impact on these solutions by empowering organizations to integrate them seamlessly into the business’ current operations.

Since 2017, Professor Virtu built AI solutions for multiple pre-IPO SaaS companies including products such as:
- Lead Ranking Algorithm: optimized sales workflows based on the likelihood prospective customers would make a purchase, resulting in an additional $8 million in annual revenue.
- Customer Health Cohorts: applied AI for business operations to identify customers with the highest risk of cancelling services leading to an 8% increase in customer retention.
- Fraud Detection: constructed an ML algorithm that subsequently enhanced the client’s existing fraud detection models, identifying $1.5 billion in potentially fraudulent activities.
- Marketing Engagement Optimization: built ML models to optimize marketing cadence, channel, and message resulting in a 40% increase in content engagement.
