Jayant Kolhe is a seasoned engineering executive with 11+ years of experience leading large technical organizations at Stripe, Meta, and Google, and a long track record before that building graphics and compiler teams at NVIDIA. He currently heads Privacy Engineering at Stripe, building privacy-aware infrastructure, data governance platforms, and product capabilities informed by prior leadership of privacy products and core service communication infrastructure like gRPC and Protocol Buffers. Jayant combines deep systems expertise—distributed systems, low-latency services, networking, compilers, and GPU programmability—with strong people and process skills in building teams and shipping complex products from the ground up. He has repeatedly founded and scaled technical orgs (notably the CUDA compiler team and foundational Google service stacks), translating research-grade technologies into production at Internet scale. Based in Saratoga, CA and grounded in CS degrees from IIT Bombay and UNC Chapel Hill, he brings a rare mix of low-level systems craft and executive product leadership focused on reliable, privacy-first platforms.
