Class Notes, 2020 May/June

May/June 2020

Andrew Sussman was recognized by Goldman Sachs as one of the 100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs of 2019 at its Builders + Innovators Summit in October. Andrew is one of the three inventors of Wine Ring, one of the RingIT brands. It is the leading AI-driven B2B personalization software for the wine and spirits industry, focused on individual consumer preference. Wine Ring combines state-of-the-art machine learning with the knowledge of leading Master Sommeliers and Masters of Wine to deliver the most powerful sales tool in the industry, the Wine Ring Preference Intelligence Engine. The Wine Ring software analyzes consumer ratings and sales, and then makes inventory-based recommendations for individual consumers and house- holds. All recommendations are based on individual preferences, not crowdsourcing or groupthink. Andrew is one of the three inventors of nine patents on machine learning. He and his colleagues have built software that behaves like a human expert that can be thought of as machine intelligence with a human touch. This definitely sounds like something wine lovers must try. Congratulations, Andrew!

Katherine Miller Eskovitz also has exciting news. After 19 years at Boies Schiller Flexner LLP, Katherine left the firm with six partners to be a founding partner at Roche Cyrulnik Freedman, a litigation boutique focusing on high-stakes trials, including cryptocurrency and cannabis law specialties. Best of luck in your new partnership, Katherine!
