Summary
Erika G is a seasoned engineering and operations leader with 10 years of experience building zero-to-one teams and scaling complex product programs across hardware, software, and regulated healthcare spaces. Currently leading GenAI strategy and operations at Google DeepMind after driving ML/AI-enabled biometric features and device software readiness for Pixel, she blends deep program leadership with hands-on technical fluency (GPU compiler development experience noted on GitHub). Her background spans founding nonprofits and startups, launching FDA-cleared medical devices, and architecting engineering operations for hypergrowth companies, giving her a rare mix of product, regulatory, and go-to-market instincts. Known for turning ambiguous technical challenges into operational systems, she has repeatedly built first-at-company functions—TPM, quality, and regulatory—to reliably ship high-risk products. Based in San Francisco, she pairs rigorous technical training (BS in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering; MS in Computer Science) with an entrepreneurial drive to mentor and democratize access to tech through nonprofit work.
