Germán Oviedo

I've worked with data in Chilean banking and fintech for more than ten years. I started as a data scientist at Bci, building behavioral models and CRM engines. Then I built Tenpo's data team, ran analytics and data science at MACH, and went back to Bci to lead generative AI.

I've taught data mining and machine learning at UNAB, UAI and UDP since 2016. In 2026 I finished an MBA in International Business at MIB Trieste and moved temporarily back to Chile.
