Summary
Simon Gu is an AI product leader and founder with eight years of experience building AI-driven products across finance, payments, and enterprise software. Currently leading AI product for JPMorgan Chase’s $5B-per-quarter payments business, he combines deep domain knowledge in payments with a track record of shipping decision-support and design-to-code platforms. Previously he founded startups that compressed Wall Street context for portfolio managers and made investing approachable through personalized learning, and his early work helped scale Carta’s valuations product to add $30M ARR. He has experience taking companies from early product-market fit to acquisition (Mason → Sitecore) and serving on a startup board, demonstrating both operator instincts and strategic judgment. Trained as a microbiologist, Simon brings a scientific rigor to product experimentation and metrics-driven roadmaps that isn’t obvious from his finance and AI résumé alone. Based in New York, he blends founder grit with enterprise product discipline to translate complex workflows into production AI agents.
