Li Sulaiman — Co-Founder
I believe the biggest challenge in consumption isn’t what we make—it’s what we waste. As Co‑Founder and Chief Product & Technology Officer at Pollen, I lead the design and deployment of AI‑powered solutions that help brands reduce product waste, optimize inventory, and drive sustainable growth. My team and I focus on building technology that is actionable, scalable, and measurable, turning complex supply chain data into decisions that save both cost and the environment. Over the past 7 years , I have: Led the development of Pollen OS - consists of B2B marketplace, Lily AI & Agents for excess inventory sales maangement from zero to 1, reducing product waste faster and at a scale never before (100m+ units & counting) and 30% better cost recovery for clients across multiple markets. We also managed to divert 1.5 million tonnes of CO2e, which otherwise likely to get compounded in the double or triple whammy of waste being disposed of and/or incinerated. Scaled a cross-functional product engineering team across 3 markets to deliver innovative AI & analytics solutions. Collaborated with investors, boards, and industry leaders to align technology strategy with business and environmental impact. Beyond building products, I share insights and best practices as a panel speaker and mentor in AI, sustainability, and startup growth. I enjoy connecting with fellow innovators, sustainability advocates, and leaders who are daring to care while building profitable, responsible businesses. Let’s connect if you’re passionate about AI, sustainable supply chains, or scaling tech for real-world impact.
