Rui Xu is a product executive and operator based in California with two decades of experience bringing consumer electronics from silicon to market, blending hands-on engineering roots with strategic product and GTM leadership. He has led large hardware teams and launched mass-market devices at ByteDance, Lenovo, Xiaomi and others, and more recently ran operations and fundraising to commercialize robotics products as COO of K-Scale Labs. Equally comfortable in stealth XR and AI initiatives, he’s held senior product roles at Tencent and now leads AI product efforts at Dreamer, while maintaining contributor-level engineering chops evidenced by LLVM/MLIR Python bindings work adding bf16 and tensor APIs. Rui pairs an MBA from UCLA Anderson with deep technical degrees, and is known for turning prototypes into award-winning, widely sold devices through cross-functional orchestration and platform partnerships. An uncommon blend of compiler-level contributions and large-scale hardware launches, he bridges low-level technical detail with executive execution.
