Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicholas B is a seasoned engineering leader with 12 years of experience scaling products and teams from byte-zero startups to multi-million dollar run rates. Currently VP of Engineering at Root Inc., he previously co-founded and led engineering at Ohi—growing the business to a nearly $9M run-rate, raising ~$24M, and building a logistics platform enabling 2-hour delivery to 70% of the U.S. population. He’s held senior engineering roles across fintech and consumer logistics, leading hyper-growth at Ellevest and building the data-and-guidance platform as CTO at Flextract. Comfortable shifting between hands-on architecture and org-building, he has hired and managed teams of 40+ engineers and overseen complex, mission-critical distributed systems. His background in mathematics and machine learning (Dartmouth, Bucknell, Udacity) informs a data-driven approach to product and reliability. Less obvious: he has repeatedly taken businesses from prototype to acquisition-ready technology, including a logistics system later acquired by OnFleet.
