Xtillion: Data Unraveled for Business
Tue Dec 12 2023
At Xtillion, we believe in the transformative power of data. Based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, we help businesses unlock their full potential through data and AI transformations. Our dual mission involves aiding clients in achieving their ambitions in the data and AI landscape while attracting and developing exceptional talent.
The Xtillion Story
The world of data and AI is evolving at a breakneck speed, leaving many businesses struggling to keep up. Recognizing this gap, we founded Xtillion with the aim to support companies in building and maintaining a modern data platform that can enable high-impact business value.
But our mission doesn't stop there. Xtillion is committed to building a globally relevant, world-class technology firm by attracting, developing, and retaining the best talent in Puerto Rico. We believe in the potential of our homeland and its people, and we are dedicated to propelling the Island's tech ecosystem and growing economy.
The Xtillion Difference
What makes Xtillion stand out are three core attributes:
Client Impact: We start with a results-focused, business-oriented mindset. Our deep technical expertise is leveraged to achieve significant client impact, reflecting the DNA of our founders.
People First: We invest heavily in world-class recruiting and talent development processes. We believe that exceptional talent is key to our clients' success. Our purpose-driven culture creates an unrivaled environment for top talent to refine their skills and grow as client leaders.
Technical Ability: Our team comprises highly competent professionals trained or experienced at top US universities and institutions. We build proprietary practices, service lines, and intellectual property to serve our clients more effectively.
Our Offerings
Data Engineering: We build end-to-end data pipelines, optimize storage and compute costs, and integrate data sources to your preferred storage systems. Our team creates data models that structure data effectively for key use cases, transforming data from raw sources to reporting layers with necessary business context. We ensure data consistency, quality, security, and compliance while cataloging data for ease of access.
BI & Analytics: Our specialists analyze big data to uncover hidden patterns, providing actionable insights. We develop custom dashboards and reports tailored to your specific needs, automating business processes for efficiency and precision.
ML & AI: We identify high-value use cases and determine the technology required for implementation. Our team conducts data preprocessing, implements algorithms, and evaluates model performance. We deploy models in production environments, continuously monitor them, and retrain as necessary to ensure optimal performance.
Our Work Culture
In a time where remote work is increasingly becoming the norm, Xtillion takes a somewhat unconventional approach by emphasizing the importance of in-office interactions. We believe that the physical proximity in an office setting fosters a culture of collaboration, enhances communication, and expedites problem-solving, leading to a higher level of productivity and innovation that we pass along to our clients.
Our in-office cadence creates a vibrant workplace environment where our team members can not only work together but also build meaningful relationships. These connections foster a deep sense of camaraderie and cohesion that strengthens our ability to work as a united team, ultimately resulting in improved client outcomes.
We also recognize that a balanced approach is key; hence we provide flexibility to accommodate personal needs, ensuring our employees are at their productive best. We have found that this blend of in-person and remote work options contributes to a highly motivated and dedicated workforce, ready to deliver top-tier performance for our clients.
This is not to dismiss the value of remote work entirely. We understand its role in today's world and the benefits it can provide. However, we stand by our belief in the unique advantages of our in-office culture that sets us apart in the industry, and most importantly, translates into exceptional value for our clients.
Commitment to Talent
Xtillion was founded by Puerto Ricans and is based in their native land in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We are committed to fostering the Island's tech ecosystem by offering young tech professionals the opportunity to shape their careers through our data academy.

Leadership Team
Our leadership team is spearheaded by Bertil Chappuis and Ric Elias. Bertil, our Co-Founder and CEO, is a former Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company and a native of Puerto Rico. He brings with him 27 years of experience, during which he founded the Firm's Software practice and was a core leader of the high tech practice. Bertil is a committed local philanthropist deeply involved in Puerto Rico's social sector.
Ric Elias, Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board, is the co-founder and CEO of Red Ventures, a diverse portfolio of brands and businesses that help millions make important life decisions.
