Summary
Thibaud Cholat is a seasoned software engineering leader and co-founder with 13 years of experience building scalable web platforms and modern AI solutions from Minneapolis. He combines hands-on engineering—having built RAG-based GPT assistants and production chatbots—with proven delivery leadership that boosted deployment frequency to daily and improved product completion and site stability at scale. Experienced across EdTech, FinTech, and Travel, he repeatedly reorganizes teams and processes to drive measurable outcomes using DORA metrics, CI/CD, and dark launches. As VP/Director at TaxAct he led modernization efforts (Strangler Fig, micro-UIs, AWS) and seeded internal innovation that became product. Now focused on agentic AI and enterprise AI strategy, he blends technical depth with a founder’s product sensibility and vendor management chops. A practical builder who still codes, he’s equally interested in use cases as in architecture—ask him how AI can move your metric needle.
