Christina Qi is the Co-Founder and CEO of Databento. Databento launched 1.5 years ago, has $40M in funding, and is the data API backbone of over 8,000 companies today. She formerly founded Domeyard LP, a hedge fund focused on HFT that traded up to $7.1 billion USD per day. Failing to earn a job offer after a Wall Street internship, Christina started Domeyard from her dorm room with $1000 in savings, in 2012. Her fund was a tiny minnow amongst the tigers of the hedge fund world, but after Michael Lewis’s Flash Boys came out in 2014 and HFT firms hid from the spotlight, Domeyard accidentally found itself in the center of the ring. Over the next decade, her company’s story was featured on the front page of Forbes and Nikkei, and quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, CNN, NBC, and the Financial Times as a result of the controversy and fascination with HFT. By a series of accidents, Christina became a voice in her industry, contributing to the World Economic Forum’s research on AI in finance and teaching Domeyard’s case study at Harvard Business School. She is grateful to be able to open up about her mistakes, and to help people turn failures into opportunities. Christina is a member of the MIT Corporation Development Committee, a standing committee of the MIT Corporation (the board of trustees). She was Co-Chair of the Board of Invest in Girls, bringing financial literacy education to underserved populations across the US. Christina also sits on the Board of Directors of The Financial Executives Alliance (FEA) Hedge Fund Group, drove entrepreneurship efforts at the MIT Sloan Boston Alumni Association, and served on the U.S. Non-Profit Boards Committee of 100 Women in Finance. Although "X Under X" lists are a gimmick, she’ll admit that Forbes 30 Under 30 made a positive impact on her life by giving her a community - friends who dragged her out of bed during the lowest days of her life. Christina earned a Bachelor of Science in Management Science from MIT in 2013 and earned her CAIA designation in 2015.

I'm the CEO of Talbot West, an AI enablement firm based in Salt Lake City, UT. I'm a thought leader, author, and speaker on the topic of applied AI, and am the host of The Applied AI Podcast. In addition to leading Talbot West, I sit on the boards of 47G, an aerospace and defense consortium, and Lucidity Sciences, a cutting-edge machine learning company. I also head up BizForesight, an up and coming AI advisory platform for sell-side M&A. In my personal life I enjoy camping, hiking, travel, pickleball, reading, history, good films, and learning. I have an amazing family and amazing life that I'm truly grateful for. About Talbot West: Talbot West is an AI-native digital transformation firm that helps mid-market and enterprise organizations turn AI from buzzword into business reality. Founded by CEO Jacob Andra and SVP of Solutions Architecture Stephen Karafiath (former leader of Oracle's Developer Innovations Team), we combine Fortune 500 methodology with boutique speed and flexibility. What sets us apart: We're not tied to any vendor. Our recommendations are driven purely by what works for your business, not by partnership quotas or technology sales. While most AI firms only know large language models like ChatGPT, we bring full-spectrum expertise across computer vision, predictive analytics, optimization algorithms, and more. We match the right technology to your actual problem. Our flexible engagement model means we work with your existing teams and partners rather than demanding you replace everything. We orchestrate your AI transformation, filling gaps and providing strategic direction while elevating your current capabilities. We deliver engineering-grade blueprints your team can actually build from, not PowerPoint decks that gather dust. Our FRAME methodology provides a unified assessment of your systems, data, workflows, and organizational readiness in a single integrated roadmap.
