Yves Raimond

Raimond is SVP/GM of AI & Personalization at Spotify and a named co-author on two of Spotify's newest production generative-recommender papers — semantic-ID generative retrieval for large-scale podcast discovery (GLIDE) and a unified language model for search, recommendation, and reasoning — plus the team's NeurIPS 2025 recap tying that research to shipped features like DJ voice requests, preference-aligned AI Playlists, Ray-Ban Meta integration, and Audiobook Recaps. A useful exec-level view of how a large consumer app moves LLM-recommender research into production at scale.
