Nathan Trueblood is a veteran tech innovator and product strategist with over 30 years of experience building and scaling enterprise software, cloud platforms, and high-performing teams.

He’s led product management at companies like Yahoo and Box, co-founded a cloud startup, and helped pioneer SaaS before it had a name. Nathan brings deep insight into distributed systems, big data, generative AI, and the human side of scaling tech.

Nathan served as a key advisor to Sahil and Prashanth two years ago, when they were accepted into UC Berkeley’s SkyDeck startup accelerator. Together, they discovered a shared passion for helping enterprises accelerate what is possible with generative AI, without putting security, compliance, and customer trust at risk.

After graduating from SkyDeck, Nathan stayed on as an advisor, and today we’re thrilled to have him join us full-time as Chief Product Officer.

When he’s not shaping the future of software, he’s studying nature’s original distributed system as a beekeeper.
