Charlie Vallely

Charlie Vallely is co-founder and chief innovation officer at SmarterX. SmarterX is a regulatory services partner to retailers, brands, and manufacturers. The company helps to accurately, and quickly, classify products for safe disposal and shipping. 

Charlie champions novel ways of solving problems with a focus on the application of ML and AI to make the world a better place. He’s a passionate, hands-on leader who works closely with his team and clients, dedicating his days to efficiently scaling massive datasets and connecting data sources in the service of better product classifications. 

His mastery over data science, computational chemistry, and hazardous waste regulation is almost entirely self taught – and might be the only thing he cares about more than his fantasy baseball team, which is saying a lot. Prior to SmarterX, Charlie created, launched and managed an analytics software company and ran a digital consultancy firm.
