Jay Zalowitz
CEO & Engineering Leader
Building innovative AI solutions, creating platforms that reach millions, and optimizing cloud infrastructure at scale.
About
I have over 17 years of experience solving interesting problems and making big changes happen for large amounts of people. I am passionate about leveraging AI and cloud computing to create innovative and impactful solutions for the world.
Currently, I'm the CEO of Leapstone AI, where we're using large language models and humans in the loop to reinvent sales outreach. I'm also leading Ramblist.com, a platform that allows anyone anywhere to write news, from local affairs to global conflicts, with the help of AI and human editors.
In the past, I co-founded HackerNoon, one of the largest independent technology publications, and led FinOps initiatives at Capital One that saved over $75 million per year in cloud costs.
I hold multiple patents on social media network analysis and advertising methods, and I'm always looking for new challenges and opportunities to learn and grow.
