About this Session
One focused hour to cut through the noise on your career. Whether you're deciding between offers, trying to break into a frontier lab, navigating a difficult org situation, or figuring out your next move, bring your real problem and leave with a clear plan. I've been at the frontier of AI for 18 years. I'll tell you what I actually think.
Your mentor
I'm Venky. I lead speech AI at Amazon where I built Nova Sonic, Amazon's voice AI that outperformed GPT-4o and Gemini 2.0 on public benchmarks. Before that I built speech systems for Alexa serving 100 million people daily.
I've been in AI for 18 years across Amazon, Intuit, and several other companies. I have 20+ published papers including a 2026 publication in Scientific Data, a Nature Portfolio journal, and have conducted 100+ interviews at Amazon.
I work with a small number of people at a time. Researchers, engineers, and managers who are serious about breaking into frontier AI or making a meaningful career move. I'll tell you what I actually think, not what sounds encouraging.
If that sounds useful, send me a message.
