Title

Corporate VP at Microsoft, board member at eBay, former CPO at Robinhood, VP at Google, and an angel investor.

Background

Throughout my career in the tech industry, I have been at the cutting edge of technology used to solve customer problems at scale. I started my career at Akamai, the world’s first internet content delivery network. At Google, I led efforts across search, YouTube, and Google Now, the precursor to Google Assistant. As the technical advisor to the CEO, I worked on company-wide strategy, particularly on AI and conversational assistants. I founded the AR and visual search product Google Lens, which helps you search what you see, driving notable growth in search use.

As chief product officer at Robinhood, I helped evolve the company beyond trading into saving and long-term investing, with retirement products for Gen Z.

I serve on the board of eBay and, as part of the audit and the tech committees, guide the management on AI and tech initiatives that can drive impact for the business. I served on the board of Capital One and advised the management team on tech and product initiatives such as the early adoption of cloud and AI.

Superpower

My strength lies in my ability to marry complex technological advancements, especially in AI and machine learning, with intuitive user experiences and zero-to-one products.

Lessons Learned

Why NOW is as important to get right as WHY. This is a lesson I learned while building personal conversational assistant products — way before LLMs and NLP improvements.

Founders Should Call Me When

They are evaluating product use cases, exploring product market fit, and hiring and scaling engineering and product teams.
