Senior Advisor Joins Expanding HSAT Crop Intelligence Team

LONDON, UK. September 6th, 2024 - HSAT, a leading crop intelligence company, is pleased to announce the appointment of Peter White as Senior Advisor, to help the company further develop and deliver its ambitious product and growth strategy.

Peter brings decades of experience in technology, data and AI/ML to this important role, having spent 30 years leading teams in global roles including at HSBC, Goldman Sachs and KPMG.

Peter started his technical career working in UBS and then later moved to Goldman Sachs, where he was an electronic trading quant for many years, building models to auto-price assets and auto-hedge risk in a high frequency trading environment.

In his last major role, Peter was Director of Analytics at HSBC, where he led cross-functional teams of data engineers, data scientists and technologists to leverage data at scale to drive business performance. Prior to HSBC, Peter was a senior manager at KPMG, where he used AI to detect risks in trades.  

Peter will use his 30 years of know-how in building client solutions to help HSAT further develop its product strategy and scale to meet the demand for increasingly complex predictive models. His immediate areas of focus will include HSAT’s CropGPT platform, and initatives such as the machine learning model lifecycle, building robust, scalable, automated data pipelines and automated model verification, data assurance and code assurance. 

Rob Weston, founder of HSAT said: “Peter’s addition to the team will provide a valuable additional source of strategic and practical advice to ensure that our growth is built on a solid technology foundation. Having already supported HSAT informally since its founding, Peter will hit the ground running in this new role.”
