I am the VP of Engineering at People.ai @ People.ai ($100M raised from a16z, Iconiq, Lightspeed, and YC). During my four years at People.ai, I have scaled out People.ai's Engineering organization from 8 to ~40 Engineers and Data Scientists. We’ve built out a product that uses AI to analyze sales activity and optimize sales processes and we've deployed it at a hundred of the largest enterprises in the world. My background is in systems design and data processing at scale; with research background in databases at MIT and as an early engineer at Sumo Logic. I am a big believer in servant leadership. In my experience, great teams are formed by hiring incredible people and supporting them on a mission that helps both them and the company grow.
