About

Fatih Nayebi

I build and teach agentic AI systems: software that makes decisions on its own, within the authority it has earned.

I am the founder and CEO of OODARIS AI, where we build production multi-agent systems for retail decisions, and an Assistant Professor at McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management, where I teach in the Master of Management in Analytics.

Before OODARIS, I was VP of Data & AI at ALDO Group. I led its data, analytics and AI strategy and four teams: Data Governance, Data & Analytics Platform, Data & Analytics Products, and Artificial Intelligence.

I have written three books on agentic AI. RETHINK Retail named me one of its Top AI Leaders.
