Identified Hires Former Facebook Data Science Leader

Former Facebook Data Science and Analytics Manager Mohammad Sabah has joined recruitment data and analytics company Identified, to lead its Data Science and Engineering teams.

Founded in 2010 and headquartered in San Francisco, Identified offers a patent-pending technology that extracts, standardizes and organizes only professionally relevant data from social media.

At Facebook, Sabah (pictured) managed a team applying large scale data mining and statistical analysis to business issues, in order to measure and understand user experience. Prior to this, he was Senior Data Scientist at online entertainment site Netflix, where he researched and developed statistical modeling algorithms to improve recommendations and search ranking, as well as algorithms to understand content demand and trends. Earlier, he held senior statistical roles at Fox Audience Network, Yahoo! and Verizon.

In his new position, Sabah will develop Identified's patent-pending artificial intelligence technology SYMAN, which takes masses of unstructured, disparate information from social media sources and creates searchable professional profiles.

The firm's co-founder and co-CEO Adeyemi Ajao comments: 'Mohammad is a rare individual in that he has deep experience in the very new field of data science and has worked for some of Silicon Valley's greatest companies. We are thrilled that he is bringing his expertise to Identified and driving our SYMAN technology as we create an entirely new competitive model for this industry.'
