Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarly Taylor is a VP-level AI builder and operator with 11 years of experience turning early-stage concepts into production at scale, currently leading concept incubation for Crunchyroll (Sony Pictures) and running an independent AI education and creator practice. She blends hands-on ML engineering—rooted in an M.S. in computational chemistry, two ML patents, and research collaborations with Stanford, NVIDIA, and Caltech—with executive strategy from roles as Field CTO at Databricks and senior engineering leadership at Activision. Carly specializes in pragmatic 0→1 innovation: designing operating models, clear go/no-go evidence gates, and clean handoffs that move prototypes into durable production. She writes and speaks about the real mechanics of agentic AI and production pitfalls to an audience of ~185k, partnering only with tools and companies she actively uses. A longtime practitioner who adopted ML before it was ubiquitous, she’s also an advocate for women in STEM and an unexpected mechanical keyboard enthusiast.
