Summary
Ywen Lau is a deployment-focused AI engineering leader with 11 years of experience who currently leads customized AI agent deployments at Brainbase Labs, working directly with enterprise customers to ship reliable production systems. A Stanford graduate in Economics and Data Science, she has a rare blend of product, strategy, and hands-on engineering—from founding forward-deployed roles building AI workflows to redesigning claims and billing systems that drove $20M+ in revenue at Headway. Ywen excels at bridging product, engineering, and operations during high-stakes launches and outages, and has repeatedly turned complex workflows into repeatable, revenue-generating infrastructure. Her background in competitive sport — including a world championship in fencing — surfaces in a disciplined, customer-first approach and a willingness to do whatever it takes to make clients successful. Based in Chengdu, she’s equally comfortable in technical trenches or at the strategy table, and is always open to coffee and conversation.
