Lynx Analytics is a global pioneer of big data and graph analytics solutions.

Lynx’s business-to-business services run the gamut, from data analysis and insights to execution based on those insights. Where it differentiates from other big data analytics companies is in using graph theory and a proprietary graph engine in order to process and analyze data from various sources.

Lynx is working mainly with telecommunications and financial services companies, and that focus has allowed it to test and develop its technology at a demanding scale.

Lynx Analytics announced in May 2016 that it has secured a first investment of just under USD 10 million from a strategic investor. This investment values Lynx at USD 66 million, which qualifies as one of the highest first-round valuations for Singapore-based technology startups.

Gábor Benedek (PhD) - Chief Innovation Officer

Gábor is the CIO and ‘Professor-in-Residence’ at Lynx. He provides senior leadership in social network analysis (SNA) and predictive analytics.​

Gábor has served numerous clients in the Southeast Asia region. He is also closely involved in developing Lynx’ core Big Graph Analytics product.

Earlier in his career, Gábor was one of the founders of Data Explorer, the first predictive analytics company in Hungary. Data Explorer built the first SNA software for mobile customer churn in Europe based on Gábor’s theoretical proposals. He and his team also developed and implemented an ATM cash optimization mechanism, based on which half of all ATMs are replenished in Hungary today.

Dr. Gábor is an Associate Professor at the Corvinus University of Budapest and received his PhD in 2003. In 2012, he received the “Best Application Paper” from the European Decision Science Institute. Gábor is the author of one book and author/coauthor of over 20 articles.
