Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZachary Poley is a seasoned technology leader and partner-level CTO with 16 years building data-driven, AI-enabled products and full-stack systems from the ground up. He currently leads ClearConnect at Clear Ventures, designing a venture-capital operating system that accelerates talent sourcing, customer access, and follow-on financing through large-scale data pipelines and applied AI. Zachary has deep hands-on experience across big data, machine learning, cloud infrastructure, and product — from founding Paysa and scaling its real-time salary platform to shaping Walmart’s Exchange adtech at Walmart Labs. He combines strategic company-building with day-to-day engineering execution, often personally architecting APIs, ETL, and UX to move teams from prototype to production. Based in San Jose with a BSE in EECS from the University of Michigan, he’s equally comfortable mentoring teams and diving into low-level performance or data normalization challenges that unlock product leverage.
