Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZach Koch is a founder and CEO with a decade of product and engineering leadership experience building consumer-scale platforms and developer-facing APIs. He currently leads Ultravox AI, a research and product lab creating real-time speech-to-speech models for natural communication, drawing on his HCI-rooted computer science background. Prior roles include directing Shopify’s headless platform and leading core services and payments strategy across Chrome, plus launching and managing Pixel PM efforts in Taiwan for Google. Zach blends design, engineering, and product management fluency—early in his career he shipped front-end, backend and API work and even ran bilingual engineering teams—so he moves fluidly between strategy and hands-on execution. Based in Seattle, he’s comfortable in international contexts (我会说中文) and has a playful entrepreneurial streak (GitHub bio: “I eat unicorns”) that underscores his appetite for ambitious problems.
