Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShivani Poddar is a seasoned AI engineering leader and founder with 13 years of experience building large-scale generative and conversational AI systems across Google and Meta. She has led cross-functional teams from research to production—authoring patents and papers on multimodal agents and driving product launches like Google’s Jules and conversational assistants at Facebook. Equally at home scaling teams quickly or advising early-stage GenAI startups, she blends hands-on technical depth (LLMs, synthetic data, adversarial evaluation) with go-to-market and growth execution. Based in San Francisco, she recently spun up a stealth AI startup hiring for “unicorn” early hires while continuing to shape safety and configurability work in cutting-edge models. A less obvious strength is her track record in building infrastructure that unites research and product, evidenced by founding multimodal datasets and mentoring programs that persist across organizations.
