Introductory Call with

If you're looking for a mentor, and you're just not sure about how this all works – this one is for you. In a casual, informal introductory call, a mentor will introduce themselves, show you around the platform, explain how our mentorships work, and explain how they would set up a mentorship with you.

This session is perfect if you're looking for a long-term mentor, but you're just not sure how this can work – or if you already set eyes on a specific mentor, and want to get to know them beforehand.

With over 30 years at the forefront of AI and robotics—driving strategy at Microsoft and Accenture, founding two AI startups, authoring 130+ peer‑reviewed papers, and training more than 500 engineers—I bring deep, hands‑on expertise to every mentorship session. My qualifications include leading multi‑million‑dollar R&D initiatives, publishing the book Safe AI, and developing production‑grade AI systems in autonomous driving, computer vision, and advanced manufacturing. I’ve successfully guided dozens of senior leaders, CEOs, and CTOs through strategic AI roadmaps, responsible AI frameworks, and go‑to‑market launches. Sessions are typically scheduled on weekday evenings (PST) to accommodate busy professionals across time zones, with flexibility available for bespoke arrangements.
