Mark Strehlow

AI-native product and design leader translating emerging technology into experiences people trust.

Now

For over 20 years, I’ve built category-defining products and helped organizations navigate major technology shifts — from early internet and mobile to social, blockchain, and now AI — translating complex systems into experiences people can understand, trust, and enjoy using.

I’ve contributed to products reaching millions of users, scaling to hundreds of millions in revenue, raising venture financing, and supporting acquisitions by Cisco and FactSet. I bring founder DNA to growing organizations that need to move quickly, innovate, and turn emerging technology into impactful products and businesses. I operate across three modes increasingly critical to AI-first companies: strategic leadership across product, design, brand, and go-to-market; hands-on execution using AI-native workflows and tools; and player-coach leadership that raises team craft and velocity.
