I hope you're doing well. I'm writing to express my interest in serving as a reviewer for INFORMS journals, particularly those focused on AI, data science, applied analytics, and marketing science.
With over 18 years of experience in AI, machine learning, and product leadership across high-tech, telecom, and education sectors, I bring a strong industry lens to evaluating applied research and its real-world impact. I currently serve as Principal Product Manager – AI at Western Governors University, where I lead large-scale AI initiatives impacting over 180,000 students through intelligent automation, predictive analytics, and personalized learning platforms.
In addition to hands-on product and analytics leadership, I have extensive experience as a peer reviewer and judge:
These roles have sharpened my ability to assess technical merit, business relevance, and innovation across diverse domains.
I would be honored to support journals such as:
-
INFORMS Journal on Applied Analytics
-
INFORMS Journal on Data Science
-
Marketing Science
-
Information Systems Research (ISR)
I am passionate about bridging research and practice and would welcome the opportunity to contribute to INFORMS' mission of advancing analytics and operations research.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Please let me know if any further information is needed.
Warm regards,
Ram Kumar Nimmakayala
Principal Product Manager – AI, WGU
