Samuel Odio is a product leader and founder with 15 years of experience building and scaling consumer and commerce products that leverage machine learning in production. He has led major initiatives at Facebook (Photos and photo ML), founded startups acquired twice (Divvyshot and Freshplum), and drove a strategic pivot at Fivestars that brought payments hardware to market and contributed to a $320M exit. At Dropbox he built a rapid GenAI prototyping sinkworks inside the Office of the CEO, and he favors lean hypothesis testing to find practical ML solutions rather than expensive, theoretical ones. Known for growing cross-functional teams and shipping high-throughput systems (hundreds of millions of photos processed daily and $500M+ GMV), he combines CEO-level strategic judgment with hands-on product execution. Based in Menlo Park and currently exploring questions at South Park Commons, he’s also focused on reanimating personal interests and family life while mentoring the next generation of builders.
