Sigao Li
AI Product Manager · Spatial Data Scientist
From maps to models, and the products in between.
I'm an AI product manager with geospatial roots. My path runs from six years of geographic analysis in Toronto, through business analytics in Bristol — including consulting with IBM on AI-driven financial analysis — to building AI products at Ebest Mobile in Shanghai today. I serve as Director of GISource at GISphere, advancing GIS education worldwide, and I keep one foot in quantitative finance.
I hold an MSc in Business Analytics from the University of Bristol, a Master's in Spatial Analysis and a BA in Geographic Analysis from Toronto Metropolitan University, with professional certifications in AI (University of Toronto) and Data Science (University of Waterloo). When I'm not building, I'm usually behind a camera somewhere new — see Through My Lens.
