Arjun Aiyer
I started my career in high school, building a gaming startup that scaled to hundreds of thousands of users and millions in revenue, giving me an early bias towards wearing multiple hats and first-principles problem solving.
I brought that mentality with me, leading AI hardware initiatives at 
and agentic advertising products at 
.
I operate best in gray areas and early initiatives, working with customers, engineers, cross-functional teammates, and executive leadership to question prior biases and drive rapid progress.
