On Thursday, I had the opportunity to speak at the AI Innovators Forum: From Hype to Real-World Impact, hosted at Google’s campus in Mountain View.

The event, presented by Founders Creative, brought together a truly inspiring mix of voices — from Stanford, Visa, Lam Capital, and a dynamic group of investors, researchers, and founders all focused on shaping the future of AI.

I shared how we’ve built Namecoach to solve a problem that’s easy to overlook, but deeply felt: the mispronunciation of names. My message was simple — real innovation should strengthen human connection. It’s not just about automation; it’s about recognition, respect, and identity. And I was thrilled to see just how much that message resonated.

As AI continues to weave itself into how we communicate, the need for accurate, identity-aware technology is only growing. And I’m proud that Namecoach is leading the way — from classrooms and campuses to enterprise tools and voice-driven platforms - and people from big names like Google are catching on. 

We’re building something meaningful — and we’re scaling fast.
