We are inventing a new way to build enterprise AI applications. Taking a data-centric approach, we are making machine learning iterable, faster to deploy, and ultimately more practical.That is a fantastic opportunity, but it also presents one of our biggest challenges – figuring out how to bridge the gap between developers at the vanguard of machine learning and business leaders looking to make AI their edge in the market. That’s a formidable task needing a go-to-market leader operating at the intersection of software development and business. Luckily, we have found a truly unique leader who has deep expertise in both developer- and business-focused product development and commercialization: Devang Sachdev.The team at Snorkel AI is excited to welcome product and marketing veteran Devang as Vice President of Marketing.
