“We are excited to have Dr. Kuriyan guide the application of Decooda’s CORE Autonomous Interaction Management platform to the financial services market,” said David Johnson, CEO of Decooda. “We see great opportunities to use the same technologies we developed for the customer experience market to track each customer’s state-of-mind in real-time, to track and predict publicly held company performance in real-time.”

We are very excited to work with him.”
“Understanding company performance as an extension of a customer’s state-of-mind, that Decooda is so good at, could be groundbreaking,” said Kuriyan. “I look forward to working with the entire Decooda team to create new, innovative solutions that link qualitative and quantitative technologies to produce net incremental alpha for the public company marketplace.”
