Summary
Grant Passmore is the co-founder and Co-CEO of Imandra, leading the development of an automated reasoning platform that proves theorems about algorithms to make AI-driven systems safer, explainable, and fair. With a PhD in Automated Theorem Proving and Algorithmic Algebraic Geometry and over a decade of research and industry experience, he bridges deep formal methods and product-focused engineering. He has held research positions at Cambridge, Edinburgh, Carnegie Mellon and Microsoft Research, and remains a life member of Clare Hall, University of Cambridge. Grant’s work uniquely combines formal verification, algorithmic mathematics and commercial AI products—turning cutting-edge theorem proving into Reasoning as a Service®. Based in Austin, he shepherds Imandra from research prototype to applied platform used to audit complex algorithms in industry. An intellectual polymath, he brings both academic rigor and startup execution to hard problems in AI assurance.
