About · NEOEDGE AI

Sam Talasila, founder of NEOEDGE AI

NEOEDGE AI is an AI advisory firm in Mississauga, Ontario. I help Canadian lenders, credit unions and financial-services firms decide which AI to build, buy, fix or stop. I test the options on their own cases, build what earns its place, and train their teams to run it.

Where I’ve worked

• Wealthsimple: Head of LLMs & Data Products. I led the AI strategy as the firm grew from 3 to 100+ models, and set up AI governance with Legal and Security.
• Shopify: led data-science teams.
• NEOEDGE AI: founder and principal since 2025. In 2026 I worked with a Canadian mortgage lender as its AI consultant, then adviser. Read the case study

How I work

• You work with me directly, from the plan to the handoff. No partner, no juniors.
• I work in the tools your IT, security and risk teams already approve.
• Every engagement ends in a written call your team can act on, and STOP counts as a good result.
