Kensho Technologies

In 2013, while still a Ph.D. student at Harvard University, Nadler founded Kensho Technologies, an artificial intelligence company that developed machine learning systems for the United States Intelligence Community, as well as for Fortune 500 companies.[5] Kensho's first investor was Google.[6] In 2017, at Davos, Kensho was named by the World Economic Forum as "one of most innovative and impactful technology companies in the world".[7] In 2018 Kensho became, according to Forbes, the most valuable privately owned artificial intelligence company in history when it was acquired by S&P Global for $700 million.[3]

Poetry

At Harvard University Nadler studied with Pulitzer Prize winning poet Jorie Graham while simultaneously completing a Ph.D. in statistical and mathematical fields.[4] Nadler's poetry has since been widely published and anthologized, including in Best American Experimental Writing. More than seventy of his poems have appeared in leading American literary publications.[8]

Nadler’s debut collection of poetry, Lacunae: 100 Imagined Ancient Love Poems, was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 2016 and was named a Best Book of the Year by NPR.[9] [10]

In 2018 Nadler was elected to the Board of Directors of the Academy of American Poets, becoming the youngest person ever to be elected to the Academy's Board in its 85 year history.[11]
