Muxie

Co-founder & Chief Product and Technology Officer (CPTO)

Jan 2025 – Present · 1 yr 3 mos · San Francisco Bay Area

Muxie helps enterprises connect AI to internal systems without losing control of data.
Employees want AI to access M365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Box, and internal apps. Security teams need visibility, least privilege, and auditability.
Muxie provides:
Enterprise connectors vetted for security and admin control
Central integration governance (on/off, scope, policy)
“Observe → enforce” controls: start with logs, tighten policies over time
Audit trails for who/what AI accessed, when, and why
My role: product strategy, architecture/security model, connector roadmap, and early customer partnerships—turning “AI wants to talk to everything” into a deployable enterprise platform.
