Yunong Xiao is a seasoned engineering leader with 17 years of experience building and scaling high-impact infrastructure and product teams across AWS, Netflix, Stripe, Tencent Cloud, Google Cloud, and now Anthropic. He has launched products used by hundreds of millions—from AWS IAM to Netflix’s API platform and Stripe’s database stack—and led orgs from small teams to hundreds of engineers while improving reliability to five nines. A hands-on contributor since early Node.js days (notably to node-restify) he blends deep distributed-systems expertise with product and go-to-market instincts, closing 8-figure enterprise deals and leading acquisitions. Based in Palo Alto, he’s equally comfortable architecting GPU and agentic AI infrastructure as he is obsessing over operational excellence and developer experience.
