Founded in 2009, advanced analytics company, QuantumBlack was born and proven in Formula 1, an ultra-competitive sport where teams live and breathe data. Today, QuantumBlack is still fascinated by how a marginal gain can have a significant impact on the performance of any organization.
Over the past decade much has changed for advanced analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and QuantumBlack. AI has developed to the point where it has become an intrinsic part of our everyday lives and been termed the ‘fourth industrial revolution’.
QuantumBlack has grown into a global advanced analytics company and in 2015 became part of McKinsey & Company. Together, they combine data science, design and engineering expertise with McKinsey’s industry knowledge and organizational change management experience.
In 2018, QuantumBlack opened an office in Montréal, a city with a dynamic scientific community coupled with the world’s largest concentration of academic researchers in deep learning. In recent years, the work of acclaimed researchers has developed into leading-edge expertise that is increasingly attracting the world’s very top players in AI.
Since opening in Canada, QuantumBlack has been at the forefront of many major Canadian AI transformations across sectors such as aviation, banking and investment.
QuantumBlack aims to be recognized as McKinsey’s global centre of excellence for applied research and AI solutions to accelerate and maximize client impact. Local partnership with Mila (Quebec AI Institute) has been essential in helping the Canada hub reach this goal.
Looking ahead, QuantumBlack will continue to build its local talent bench while delivering valuable impact for clients. Alongside this, the company is committed to supporting the growth of the Canadian ecosystem and shining a spotlight on the country through consistent successful client projects and the development of reusable assets.
