Bob Rogers

Bob Rogers, PhD, is the co-founder and Chief Product & Technology Officer of Oii.ai, a San Francisco-based AI company that deploys probabilistic digital twins to optimize end-to-end supply chains. A Harvard-trained astrophysicist who once modeled supermassive black holes, Rogers pivoted through quantitative hedge funds, healthcare AI (co-founding Apixio, acquired by Centene), and Intel—where he led enterprise-scale AI as Chief Data Scientist—before channeling that eclectic career into Oii.ai's flagship platform Optii. A prolific author of four AI books and TechArena's 2024-2025 Voice of Innovation, Rogers is known for translating dense physics intuition into practical tools that let supply chain executives make real-time decisions instead of waiting weeks for reports.
