Jaime Enrique Pesca Santos
I work across optimization, data science and digital growth, connected by one habit: turning ambiguous problems into decisions backed by evidence.
About me
I'm an industrial engineer from Universidad de La Sabana, where I also earned an M.S. in Applied Analytics with distinction under a full research fellowship, and I hold a Graduate Certificate in Logistics and Supply Chain Management from MIT. I currently teach business analytics and optimization at Universidad Externado de Colombia.
In more than four years of practice, I have managed over USD 150,000 a month in paid media for companies in the United States, Brazil and Colombia, led data science projects for multinational companies in banking, consumer goods and telecommunications, and trained more than 100 professionals. On the research side, that work has led to a peer-reviewed international publication and several working papers on location and logistics problems.
I am also an expert in artificial intelligence: I bring machine learning and generative AI into research, growth, data and training, to move faster without giving up rigor.
In everything I do, the same approach: listen carefully, measure honestly and keep learning from each result.
My commitment
Whatever the project, four things are guaranteed:
Ethics
Transparent work, honest numbers and your data handled with care and confidentiality.
Quality
Every deliverable reviewed in detail, documented and ready to use from day one.
Rigor
Research methods applied to business: clear hypotheses, careful testing and validated results.
Guaranteed analytics
Every recommendation backed by data you can check, not by opinions.

Optimization in Action
I built an open library of interactive operations research resources, organized in five levels from linear programming to methods beyond mathematical programming. Many of them use real cases from my research in Colombia, and every resource runs in your browser: move the numbers and watch the optimum respond.
