Cara Touretzky
Senior Technical Account Manager
Dr. Cara Touretzky holds a BChE from University of Delaware and PhD in Chemical Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin. During her graduate work she studied dynamic optimization and model-based process control, with applications ranging from HVAC system automation to production scheduling for chemical processes. Prior to Gurobi she worked as an Application Engineer for ExxonMobil managing nonlinear controller deployments for plastic plants in the gulf coast. Cara participates in several organizations including INFORMS, IEEE, and AIChE, where she has served as a program director for the process control division.
Jennifer Locke
Manager of Technical Account Management-Americas
Jennifer Locke has over 20 years of professional experience with mathematical, statistical and data analysis software as a software engineer, consultant, pre-sales engineer and product management. She has programming expertise with all major computer programming languages. Prior to joining Gurobi, she was a lead developer on the IMSL (International Mathematical and Statistical Library) engineering team and later serving as IMSL Product Manager. Holds a BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science from College of the Ozarks and completed master’s courses in Mathematics and Computer Science at University of Tennessee Space Institute.
Ronald van der Velden
Manager of Technical Account Management - EMEA
Ronald van der Velden holds a MSc degree in Econometrics and Operations Research at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam. He started his career at Quintiq where he fulfilled various roles ranging from creating planning and scheduling models as a software developer, to business analysis and solution design at customers worldwide, as well as executing technical sales activities like value scans and "one week demo challenges". He also spent two years as a lead developer at a niche company focused on 3D graphics in the entertainment industry before going back to his mathematical roots at Gurobi. In his spare time he loves spending time with his wife and two sons, going for a run on the Veluwe and working on hobby software projects.
Dan Steffy
Senior Optimization Engineer
Dr. Steffy received his PhD in Algorithms, Combinatorics and Optimization from the Georgia Institute of Technology. He has published many papers in scientific journals, including work on computing numerically exact solutions to linear and integer programming problems.
Prior to joining Gurobi in 2022 he was an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Oakland University. He also spent time working as a researcher at the Zuse Institute Berlin. In his free time he loves being outdoors, playing board games and spending time with his wife and two daughters.
Yuriy Zinchenko
Senior Optimization Engineer
Dr. Zinchenko holds a Ph.D. in Operations Research from Cornell University. He has published papers in the fields of mathematical programming, operations research and applications, including his work on the curvature of the central path for linear programming and optimal radiotherapy design. Prior to joining Gurobi, he was Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Calgary.
In his free time… Oh wait, no free time, 2 kids!
