Company Info for centennial-group.com | IcebreakerMembers
I build AI-first companies and AI-driven rollups—currently scaling a >$1B revenue platform with full-stack AI deployment across ops, retail, marketing, and manufacturing functions. Previously built AI products at Sequoia-backed Trusting Social (1B+ credit scores via neural nets and telco data), consulted for Samsung’s first big data/AI strategy, and worked on PE/ 1st AI cases at Bain. Co-founded and exited a YC-backed fintech, and was CSO/founding team of a $3B blockchain protocol (Zil) in 2018-2019.
I was also a World Economic Forum Council Member (GFC/DCGC/YGL), Ethereum Foundation Fellow, Kauffman Fellow (VC) and Schmidt Futures Fellow (AI). I co-founded a social enterprise that trained entrepreneurs in frontier economies. I was profiled in a Harvard Business School case study (717-015) for my work, and glad to have the opportunity to teach the case to Harvard MBAs and other students. I nearly died twice in the course of work! Glad to be alive!
I graduated from Wharton/Yale in economics and political science, researched ethnomusicology in Latin America and published on industrial policy in China. I am getting licensed as a Psychedelic Assisted Therapist in Australia (where it's legal) to provide healing and support to others.
