Senior🎓
Top SchoolCristian Felix is a product-focused engineering leader with 11 years of experience building NLP-driven products and platforms, currently serving as Head of Engineering at Wand AI. He holds a Ph.D. from NYU where his research explored user experience and visual analytics for NLP, a foundation he leverages to make complex AI accessible and usable for enterprise customers. Over the past several years he progressed from VP of Product to Chief Product Officer and Chief Product and Technology Officer at Accern (now part of Wand AI), combining product strategy with hands-on technical leadership. Early career IT management and research stints at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory give him a rare blend of operational rigor and applied research sensibility. He is fascinated by agentic tools and automation, having briefly led that charter before transitioning to his current role, and brands himself simply as “Wand AI” on GitHub, signaling a maker mentality oriented toward practical AI tooling. Colleagues describe him as someone who turns academic insights into intuitive products that accelerate enterprise adoption of NLP.
