Nicos Savva

Nicos Savva co-directs London Business School's Data Science and AI Initiative. His research examines data science and AI and how they are reshaping business, including healthcare delivery — from the adoption of generative AI and the redesign of service operations, to hospital operations, reimbursement and regulation, health inequity, and innovation in care delivery. He trained in physics, finance, and management science at the University of Cambridge. His work has appeared in Management Science, Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, Production and Operations Management, and Nature Biotechnology, and he serves as Department Editor for Healthcare Management at Management Science.

He teaches electives on Generative AI, No-Code Data Science, and Science for Managers, and has previously taught at The Wharton School, Columbia Business School, and Cambridge Judge Business School. For executives, he co-teaches the in-person Generative AI Masterclass with Keyvan Vakili and has created two online courses, Business Analytics in the Age of Generative AI and Generative AI for Leaders. The focus throughout is on where these technologies create value, where they don't, and how to tell the difference. His teaching has been recognised with London Business School's Distinguished Teaching Award and inclusion in Poets & Quants' "Best 40 Professors Under 40".

Beyond academia, he has served as an external advisor to NHS England/NHS Improvement and held an honorary appointment at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. He has consulted for hospitals, biotech companies, start-ups, retail firms, and investment organisations, and advises on the policy implications of algorithms.
