What inspired you to join NetBase?

It was exciting to build the technology that could quickly surface meaningful customer insights at scale. For example, what used to take a day to run a simple analysis now takes just a second. Our platform now analyzes data in “Google time”, yet the depth and breadth of our analysis is exponentially deeper and larger than what you’ll ever get from a Google search.

What are you most proud of at NetBase?

I’m especially proud that we have the industry’s most accurate, deepest, fastest, and more granular text analysis technology. This enables us to gives our customers very actionable insights, unlike other platforms that offer broad sentiment analysis and general trending topics. Plus, NetBase reads 42 languages. Other platforms don’t even come close. We are customer-centric. Our platform truly helps customers quickly identify their priorities and next steps. This is what sets us apart.

What is the next frontier for NetBase?

With the exploding growth of social and mobile data and new social networks emerging, we’ll be working on connecting all these data points to help our customers get even more out of social data. As Chief Scientist, I’m more excited than ever to develop a “recipe” that can work with the world’s languages and further expand our language offerings.
