Summary
Michael Hejazi is a product leader with 10+ years building AI-powered marketplace and consumer products, now focused on speech and language on Tensor chips at Google. He has led cross-functional teams from early-stage startups to enterprise initiatives, scaling Rev’s fastest-growing legal vertical and founding SAGE AI to deliver ML-driven demand forecasting for FMCG. His background blends hands-on engineering and data science with product strategy—having led vendor marketplaces, freelancer onboarding, and end-to-end platform builds as both founder and group product manager. Based in Mountain View, he pairs practical startup grit (Y Combinator and Columbia credentials) with a researcher’s curiosity, often approaching product work with an engineer’s skepticism about requirements—echoed in his GitHub quip about bugs and empty files.
