Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTong Galaxy is a product leader and founder with 12 years of experience building 0-to-1 products in complex, regulated, and operationally messy environments, increasingly centered on AI as the core value engine. As Ramp’s 18th employee and first IC PM he founded Bill Pay (now ~40% of revenue) and shipped foundational rails like money movement, developer APIs, procurement, and a practical risk function. Since then he’s led AI-driven pivots and agentic product designs—from an AI financial advisor at Titan to an underwriting pipeline at Bonside and prediction fixes for 2M daily MTA riders—always pairing technical prototypes with rigorous evaluation frameworks. He’s pragmatic about shifting architecture and obsessively focused on proving customer value, especially where model capabilities collide with human workflow change. A former founder who learned more from shutting down a startup than many successes, he combines product rigor with hands-on data analysis (Python/SQL) and cross-stakeholder coalition-building. Based in New York, he balances high-stakes product work with life as a dad to Lila and Maeve.
