Teams at Build AI

Lead Build AI’s commercial function by personally closing complex, high-value deals with frontier AI labs and robotics companies. Define ideal customers, build pipeline, manage negotiations and contracts, structure pilots and multi-year partnerships, and collaborate with founders and technical teams. Establish a repeatable sales process, translate customer feedback into product direction, and eventually recruit and lead the sales organization.

Build internal software for field collection operations, including tasking, site setup, device inventory, shift tracking, local tools, and site-health monitoring. Improve operational efficiency by observing field workflows, removing bottlenecks, and making site expansion repeatable. Integrate field tools with data infrastructure and marketplace incentives, while collaborating closely with on-the-ground teams and occasionally traveling to field sites.

Owns dataset strategy and quality for physical labor AI data. Defines the ideal dataset, objective functions, taxonomy, golden sets, acceptance criteria, audits, and incremental data value. Converts these frameworks into collection strategies, operational standards, and vendor requirements while optimizing information gain over unnecessary fidelity or volume. Partners with marketplace, software, research, and evaluation teams to connect dataset quality with model capability.
