Summary
Calvin Gerus is an AI product leader and entrepreneur with eight years of hands-on experience building and scaling generative AI and agentic systems for enterprise and consumer markets. As Sr. Principal Product Manager at Borealis AI (RBC), he led deployment of large-scale LLM solutions that delivered over $50M in annual savings, reclaimed 500K+ hours, and pioneered regulated GenAI governance and RAG-powered knowledge systems for 60,000+ employees. He also co-founded The PEARL™, a consumer-facing “Wisdom AI” that blends depth psychology and advanced reasoning to combat LLM sycophancy and promote emotionally intelligent human-AI interaction. Calvin bridges research and product execution—architecting AI agents, ML platforms, and recommendation systems that moved prototypes into production and generated measurable business value like $100M in realized credit value and 20% conversion lifts. He combines an electrical engineering background and an MBA with experience across data platforms, behavioral analytics, and product teams, making him equally fluent in technical architecture and go-to-market strategy. Notably, he treats AI not just as automation but as a design problem in human behavior and ethics, shaping systems that prioritize safety, alignment, and psychological nuance.
