Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKristoffer Gjerde is a robotics-focused software and product leader with eight years of experience turning autonomous systems into reliable industrial tools. Currently Robotics Strategy Director at Cognite and founder of an investment company, he blends hands-on engineering (from Spot integrations to sensor data pipelines) with product and strategic leadership. His background in AI-informed computer science—including a master's thesis applying GANs to CFD and wind prediction—underscores a data-driven approach to robotics and inspection workflows. He has scaled from individual contributor roles to head of robotics and senior product management, delivering end-to-end solutions that make robots collect and contextualize data for operators. Based in Oslo, he pairs startup curiosity (early founder and side projects) with enterprise delivery experience across Cognite, CNTXT, Cisco and Equinor. A not-obvious strength: he bridges deep ML research and practical robotic deployments, turning experimental models into shipped features.
