Summary
Lola Priego is an engineering leader with 12 years of experience building AI-enabled products and founding startups, currently leading payroll-focused teams at Gusto where she’s exploring agents and LLMs to supercharge payroll. A former med student turned engineer, she blends clinical curiosity with technical rigor—founder and CEO of Base, an AI food-as-medicine platform that leveraged lab monitoring, and earlier head of engineering at a Khosla- and FF-backed medical device startup.
