Translytica is the independent operations and technology practice of Salvador H. Bou.

Sal is an industrial engineer, a Georgia Tech graduate, who started his career on site with a Manhattan Associates client: UNFI, the national grocery wholesaler, as it moved off an antiquated legacy platform. He was the link between the client and the engineering teams: specifying and testing what was built, and confirming with the client that it worked end to end.

He then joined Delta Air Lines' operations analysis group. He worked on the ground at international hubs, measuring how passengers actually moved through immigration, customs, and security, and used those measurements to set the minimum connection times governing partnerships with carriers including China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines. He built the discrete-event simulations behind decisions like Delta's initial rollout of automated passport control kiosks, and presented the results to the executives who acted on them, including analyses commissioned directly by the chief operating officer.

For the past nine years he has applied the same discipline to the pediatric practice founded by his father, running everything outside the exam room while the clinicians run medicine, and growing it from a single-clinician office into a multi-site, multi-clinician group.

He led the practice's COVID-19 response and built its hurricane resiliency: redundant connectivity and extended cold-chain power backup protecting the vaccine inventory. He writes the practice's software himself, from the forecasting models to a vaccine inventory and forecasting web platform with barcode scanning that he designed, programmed, and piloted. Through Translytica he continues to direct the practice's operations and technology as it grows.
