Chief Executive Officer

Gurobi Optimization

Mr. Perrucci has more than 30 years of experience in roles spanning sales, marketing and analytics. He joined Gurobi in 2018 as the CRO, heading both sales and marketing. He then moved into the COO role and ultimately the CEO position in 2023. Prior to Gurobi, he held the position of CRO at Cambridge Analytica – a predictive analytics firm. Here he built the commercial practice in North America by helping companies drive better advertising through the use of artificial intelligence. Before Cambridge he spent 8 years in the MarTech space with FocusVision. Here he built a global sales organization across 6 continents and 10 offices. Prior to FocusVision, Mr. Perrucci spent a total of 9 years at Information Resources Inc. (IRI) working in various analytic consulting roles across the entire PepsiCo enterprise. After the first 4 years at IRI, he decided to gain experience on the brand side and moved into analytics at Unilever. Before long he secured a position in brand management working on the Bertolli business – a $400 million brand in the United States. When IRI came calling again, it was an offer too good to pass up – running the Pepsi Cola and Quaker businesses out of PepsiCo’s world headquarters in Purchase, NY. Before this journey, Duke earned a BA in Classical Civilization from Fordham University. While en route, he earned his MBA from Cornell University.

Optimization is all around us—calculating the quickest route on your mobile phone, ensuring timely package deliveries, and streamlining your airline and hotel bookings. Optimization technology is being used in all those situations because it “creates value” – but what exactly does that mean? What’s the hidden connection between a deeply mathematical puzzle-solving tool, and your bottom-line results? What is the interplay between complexity and value?

Keynote Tackling Nonlinearities with Gurobi + Outlook v12 2869

Gurobi can handle a number of non-linear functions in optimization models. Historically, Gurobi first supported convex quadratic function in the objective and constraints. With Gurobi 9.0, Gurobi introduced a global solver for non-convex quadratic models and automatic piecewise-linear approximations of common arithmetic functions. Gurobi 11.0 comes with support for global optimization of models containing univariate non-linear functions . In this talk, we will review those various features and present our current work for tackling non-linearities better, including an outlook to Gurobi 12 .

This session will introduce you to the importance and fundamentals of Mathematical Optimization (MO). You’ll learn how MO differs from other methods in AI, how it aids in making complex decisions by translating predictions into actionable solutions, and why it’s so valuable to add this expertise to your professional toolkit. You’ll see how to identify the essential building blocks of optimization models in business problems: decision variables, constraints, and objective functions. This session will also feature a hands-in example, guiding you through running your ‘Hello World!’ optimization model.

In addition to solving LPs, MIPs and MIQCPs, Gurobi has many useful features that you may not be aware of. In this talk we review modeling features such as multiple objectives, multiple scenarios, solution pools and general constraints. We also present features to help analyzing infeasibility and tools designed to analyze and improve the performance of Gurobi on your models.

In the landscape of custom decision-support tools using commercial platforms, developers often face the challenge of navigating across multiple platforms tailored to specific analytics methodologies. As a result, optimization, ML, and simulation models tend to live in their preferred platform based on a natural division, which makes it challenging for users to interpret and reconcile the recommendations from these various models.

Gurobi’s available APIs in multiple programming languages provide a great opportunity to integrate optimization solutions in a variety of modern data warehouses and cloud architectures. In this talk, we demonstrate the benefits of Databricks through a network optimization example.  Using this approach, we can streamline forecasting, optimization, and scenario analysis in a unifying platform, which can help foster better collaboration across teams with various analytics capabilities, and ultimately accelerates time-to-value in complex decision-making.

Technical Training If You Can Model It, You Can Optimize It 2898

You already have an in-depth knowledge of your business challenges, likely supported by code and conditional statements that define the business rules and established specifications. Additionally, you have regression and machine learning models that provide predictions and address more intricate aspects of your business.  In this session, we will guide you through converting these elements into the components of a robust optimization model.  We will illustrate this by extending the example introduced in the ‘Optimization Crash Course’. By converting these existing representations into optimization frameworks, we’ll show you how to translate your predictive models into decision-making tools, embracing the principle that if you can model it, you can optimize it.

Technical Training Handling Challenging Models 1779

Finding an optimal solution can be quite challenging for some models. In this session, we discuss potential reasons for this and how to deal with it. We also show a few techniques that help determine why some model is infeasible. Additionally, we give insights into the geometry of MIP to better understand the difficulty of models. Heuristics are essential to finding reasonable solutions quickly. We discuss heuristics included in the solver and other general concepts.

Models with numerical issues can lead to undesirable results: slow performance, wrong answers or inconsistent behavior. When solving a model with numerical issues, tiny changes in the model or machine can make a big difference in the results. In this session, you will learn about Gurobi’s guidelines on numerical issues, how to identify them, how they impact your solutions and, most importantly, how to avoid them.
