Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Waldrop is a seasoned software leader with 14 years of senior engineering and executive experience building consumer device software, mobile services, and scalable web platforms from startup to FAANG. Currently VP of Software at Tonal after leading Device Software and Android Health engineering at Google and serving as VP of Engineering at Fitbit, he combines product-focused technical strategy with hands-on delivery of firmware, mobile, and cloud systems. His background includes growing teams and platforms at Twitter and Salesforce, driving major scalability, performance, and datacenter initiatives, and founding early web and SaaS ventures—evidence of both operator and builder instincts. Based in Oakland, he’s equally comfortable leading cross-functional mergers and acquisitions work as he is inventing “prototypes which cannot be described,” a hint at a bias for pragmatic experimentation.
