Senior🎓
Top SchoolSagar Mehta is a seasoned technology executive with 13 years of experience building and scaling engineering, product, and design organizations from early-stage startups to public companies. Currently CTO at OpenTable, he previously grew Upstart’s engineering organization from 25 to 500+ engineers while helping scale an AI-powered lending marketplace that originated over $30B in loans and delivered ~10x revenue growth through IPO. He has deep operational experience modernizing platforms—monolith breakup, cloud migrations to AWS/Kubernetes, data/ML platforms, and SRE/QA tooling—and a track record of launching new product lines and expanding partner ecosystems. Earlier roles include scaling HIPAA-compliant health systems at Collective Health and co-founding a StartX-backed startup, reflecting both startup grit and enterprise rigor. With an academic background blending Harvard sciences and computer science study at Stanford, he combines quantitative roots in trading and research with practical product and engineering leadership. Not obvious from titles: he’s moved between high-frequency trading, healthcare, fintech, and consumer hospitality, giving him a rare ability to translate complex data and risk models into scalable customer-facing products.
