Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Rennert is a third-time founder and CTO based in London with 13 years of experience building computer vision and video-first data platforms for retail and research. He led architecture and engineering efforts that cut storage and compute costs by 10x while transitioning systems from image- to video-based infrastructures, enabling large-scale store rollouts and on-prem deployments. Peter co-founded startups (one acquired) that fused machine learning with distributed systems to make in-store AI practical—prioritizing human-in-the-loop workflows that augment retail staff rather than replace them. His background includes a PhD from UCL focused on scaling video analysis for scientific research, giving him deep expertise at the intersection of academic rigor and product-first engineering. Notably, he has repeatedly abstracted complex video infrastructure into reusable platforms, reducing cross-team coupling and operational friction. He combines founder grit with hands-on technical leadership, proven at both seed-stage startups and fast-scaling engineering organizations.
