MaxMind Blog MaxMind appoints seasoned data science leader Rupert Young as Chief Product Officer

Rupert Young’s cross-disciplinary career in machine learning, fraud and security, and data science began with stamps. After his grandfather gifted Rupert an album containing thousands of stamps, Rupert—then only a teenager —built several databases to catalog his collection and identify trends in watermarks, colors, cancel types, perforations, printing techniques, and plate redesigns. This passion project on stamps inspired Rupert’s college application essay, which gained him admission to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
