Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCristobal Chao is a Chief Transformation Officer and former Google Senior UX/FrontEnd Engineer with 11 years of experience building consumer-facing interfaces and product-led engineering teams. After leaving Google in 2018—turning down a seven-figure offer—he focused on helping startups scale product and design systems through his role at Torii Studio. His background spans large-scale UX work on Google Maps, Search, and Material Design to hands-on engineering at Oracle and early-stage product work at Hattery Labs. Cristobal blends technical depth in web engineering with strategic transformation leadership, bridging design, front-end architecture, and business outcomes. He holds advanced training in web and computer engineering from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and TU Wien, and is based in New York City. Less obvious: he deliberately traded high corporate compensation for the agility to shepherd world-changing startups from prototype to product.
