Sneha Shah is a founder and CEO building Hazel, an AI-first platform that embeds generative intelligence directly into end-to-end product development to bridge imagination and execution. With two decades of experience delivering cloud-native systems at scale, she previously served as Senior Staff Engineer at Google Cloud, where she drove Vertex AI Search & Agentspace and helped standardize Cloud Spanner with a PostgreSQL interface. Her career includes day-zero product leadership at Amazon and Google, shipping features from Prime Same Day delivery to resilient dual-region RDBMSes that survive regional outages. She has a rare combination of deep distributed-systems and product instincts, having scaled Spanner to billions of users and $100M in revenue while also designing developer-facing AI tools. Based in Cupertino, she pairs technical rigor (MS from Carnegie Mellon) with entrepreneurial drive, and outside work is an avid hiker and mother of two who treats complex system design like an adventure. An evident thread through her work is creating developer experiences that make sophisticated infrastructure feel seamless.
