About

I'm an investor and advisor to AI companies, from the newest startups to globally recognized large-cap companies. I advise about all aspects of AI, from strategy to tactics to implementation. Give me a call! :) As an AI Lead at Google for over 10 years, I drove the corporate-wide narrative for first-party and third-party developers. I aim to inform and inspire the world at scale about the possibilities and opportunities of AI and ML. This brought me to wear many hats, from researcher to developer, to educator, to author. I have leveraged my ML and AI expertise to grow the developer ecosystem from thousands to millions, launch multiple products with millions of users, teach millions of students via MOOCs, and lead a strong, productive, and happy team. Research I worked on with the folks at Harvard won a CogX award. I am also a best-selling author, speaker, and screenwriter who shares my knowledge and insights on AI and ML through various media channels and platforms. Additionally, I am a Fellow of the AI Fund, where I advise startups on healthcare and environmental solutions with AI.
