Jesal Gadhia is a seasoned technology leader and founder with 14+ years of experience building high-performing engineering teams and shipping production-grade products, from a post-2009 dev shop serving Fortune 500 clients to scaling BetterUp’s engineering org nearly tenfold. As Co-founder & CTO at Cora.ai he’s focused on AI agents that automate customer success workflows, drawing on recent hands-on experience leading engineering at Thoughtful AI where he built agent platforms for healthcare revenue cycle automation at scale. Jesal combines strategic org-building with deep operational knowledge of deploying thousands of agent runs in production with full traceability, and he has a track record of delivering configurable human-in-the-loop systems for customers like BetterUp, Dialpad, and Flock Safety. He’s equally comfortable shipping code and shaping company strategy—a founder who learned to run a business while still managing engineering and client delivery. Based in Los Angeles, he pairs grit from early agency days with modern ML-powered automation expertise to solve repeatable, operational pain points that teams live with every day.
