Summary
Toby Urff is a product leader and founder with 14 years of experience building customer-focused digital products and scaling teams from early-stage startups to a 100+ headcount company that raised $32M. He blends hands-on product work with practical machine learning and automation tooling—particularly text-to-speech, LLMs, and computer vision—to deliver genuinely useful experiences rather than hype. His recent interim roles have shipped generative-AI solutions adopted by enterprise users, including an internal answer engine used daily by 75% of Insight Partners’ staff and a video-chat onboarding assistant that reduced drop-off. Toby prioritizes low-bureaucracy, high-talent teams and radical candor, and he automates repetitive work with tools like Zapier, Google Apps Script, and serverless functions. Fluent in Dutch, German, and English, he’s also an avid language learner and donates 10% of his take-home pay to effective-altruism causes. Colleagues consistently cite his positive attitude and leadership as key reasons their teams are great places to work.
