Samuel Messing is a VP of Engineering with 13 years of experience building privacy-first, scalable ML and data infrastructure, currently leading engineering at Slack in New York. He spent over six years at Google designing petabyte-scale training and analysis pipelines for G Suite editors, an experimental AI/hardware collaboration project, and a global travel recommendation product, and he also helped incubate a startup within Area 120. Samuel blends hands-on systems and model engineering with cross-functional partnership—working closely with product, legal, and privacy teams—to take ideas from zero to one and scale them responsibly. His background combines an MS in Computer Science from Columbia with a BA in Philosophy from Johns Hopkins, bringing both technical depth and a nuanced approach to ethical product design.
