Summary
Zoë Weil is a founder and AI research leader with a decade of experience turning cutting-edge language and event modeling research into production products and startups. Beginning as a researcher at NYU Courant, she progressed to founding scientist and chief scientist roles at companies that included a successful acquisition by Google DeepMind, and most recently co-founded Sequen to invent and commercialize Large Event Models (LEMs) for real-time behavior design. She blends deep technical fluency in LLMs, reinforcement learning, PyTorch/TensorFlow, and cloud ML platforms with hands-on delivery—building end-to-end ML platforms and low-latency APIs that serve personalization at scale. At Etsy she led multiple transformer and generative-model initiatives that directly powered personalization and query systems, and at Risalto she productionized clinical LLM solutions from research prototypes. Based in New York, she also invests in and advises AI startups, bringing both product-focused leadership and a researcher’s rigor to applied AI problems.
