As a Silicon Valley tech strategist and AI executive, I focus on scaling technical capabilities for hyper-growth enterprise products across AI/ML, Cloud, and advanced engineering. With multi-decades experience in executive roles at industry-leading companies—Apple, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft—and research affiliations with top academic institutions like MIT and Stanford, I have pioneered technical strategies and built globally impactful products and teams.Notably, as a founding member of Google Cloud (GCP), I helped build a $11B+ ARR platform for Google. At Facebook, I led the scaling of its ML Platform powering AI across its products, while at Microsoft, I enabled multiple multi-million-dollar Cloud and AI migrations for Fortune 500 companies. Most recently, as an AI Director at Apple, I led a multi-billion-dollar AI product operations, leading privacy-preserving on-device AI initiatives, working directly with executive leadership, and overseeing a global team of 100+ AI and ML engineers.Today, I am the CEO of JazzComputing, an AI advisory firm specializing in high-quality due diligence for tech investors, a board director at Stanford GSB, a visiting research affiliate at Stanford University and MIT’s CSAIL. My educational background includes a Ph.D. in computer science from UCSB, postdoctoral work and teaching at MIT, and a Master’s in business strategy from Stanford GSB, where I lecture on AI technology strategy. My research includes over 20 publications, 5+ patents, and 5000+ citations, and I frequently keynote and write on AI’s transformative potential and strategic applications.Specialties: AI/ML Strategy, Cloud Computing, Engineering Organizational Development, Change Management, Product Management, Technology Strategy, Public speaking, keynotes.
