Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarc Hadfield is a founder and technology entrepreneur with 12 years of experience building AI-first platforms, currently leading Vital.AI to create an ecosystem of intelligent agents focused on knowledge graphs, semantics, and vector/graph databases. He has deep R&D roots in NLP and semantic technologies from roles at Columbia Genome Center and Alitora Systems, where he developed patented semantic parsing and NLP products and led cloud-scale semantic repositories. Marc combines hands-on engineering with product leadership and enterprise sales, having co-founded Harbor.ai (an AI-driven insurance marketplace) and served as CTO in multiple startups. Based in New York, he blends academic rigor from a Princeton BSE in Computer Science with practical invention—his work routinely bridges machine learning, knowledge modeling, and production-grade big data systems. Less obvious: he’s equally fluent in the research-to-revenue path, negotiating contracts and raising capital while translating semantic research into commercial developer kits and platforms.
