Zev Eigen is an internationally recognized expert in the HR Tech and Legal Tech fields, a technology entrepreneur, and the Founder and Chief Data Science Officer of Syndio,[1] a SaaS company whose workplace equity platform enables organizations to close the gender and racial pay gap and otherwise compensate people consistently and equitably. Syndio’s first of its kind and best in class pay equity software has been deployed globally and has helped tens of thousands of people get paid fairly and equitably. Syndio was ranked 20th in Fortune's 2023 "Change the World List,[2]" just below Apple at 15th.

Dr. Eigen has been at the forefront of cutting-edge HR and legal tech for over a decade. The Financial Times honored him as one of the ten most innovative legal practitioners in North America, and he was one of the National Law Journal’s 40 Under 40 Rising Stars.

As a former academic, he is the author of more than a dozen scholarly articles and book chapters, and has appeared in the media frequently (WSJ, NYT, Forbes, NPR, Bloomberg News, etc.)[3]

Biography[edit]

Eigen was born in Costa Rica and raised in Manhattan, New York. He attended Cornell University as an undergraduate, and received a Bachelor of Science from the School of Industrial and Labor Relations. He went on to receive a JD from Cornell Law School and a PhD from the MIT in management under Roberto Fernandez and Susan Silbey writing his dissertation on "The Behavioral Theory of Contract."

Before founding Syndio, for a short time, Eigen served as in-house counsel, labor relations with Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp., and Eigen also served as a full time professor at Northwestern University School of Law, and as a visiting professor at USC, Yale Law School, and NYU School of Law.

Eigen's focus in both his academic writing and in his entrepreneurship has been on how to leverage technology and data science to help people and improve lives. Throughout his career, while studying and working in several disciplines, Eigen has centered his research and more practical development of software on reducing the barriers to ensuring access to justice, and equitable treatment, especially by employers. As a major proponent of the "data science for good" movement, Eigen's extensive contributions to this space have influenced many newer entrepreneurs.
