About the Person
Gabriel Burt is Vice President of Engineering and Chief Technology Officer at Civis Analytics, where he develops company technology, manages the technology team, and coordinates across departments to direct technology strategy and implementation. Gabriel was Lead Analytics Engineer and Product Manager for the 2012 Obama campaign, where he co-managed a nine-person team of engineers who created tools that empowered hundreds of analysts and organizers, and oversaw some of the campaign’s most creative and impactful projects, including media optimization, integrated data warehousing, mapping and analysis tools, record matching, and targeted sharing. The team’s tools and fast-paced development earned praise from HQ and state staff, and won RootsCamp's #2 Most Valuable Technology award.

He has left his days of racing taxis on bike behind him and now enjoys Chicago's lakefront path and protected bike lanes. He is a licensed private pilot and would fly more if he weren't aware that general aviation is one of the leading sources of lead pollution and that our atmosphere just hit 400 ppm CO2.
