We are thrilled to welcome Eli Collins, VP of Product at Google DeepMind, to ICONIQ. Eli has been at the center of some of the most important work we see happening in AI today. At Google DeepMind, he plays a key role in transforming pioneering AI research into real-world scalable applications. His responsibilities have included leading multiple product teams for Generative AI models (Gemini, Gemma, Gen Media), products (Gemini App and AI Studio), and teams working with developers, creators, and artists deploying models and research prototypes. Before DeepMind, Eli served as Chief Technologist of Cloudera, helping guide the company from Series B through IPO. Across each chapter, he has paired deep technical judgment with a builder’s understanding of what it takes to turn ambitious technology into products that reach meaningful scale. With Eli as a member of our Technical Advisory Board, we believe his experience at the frontier of AI, builder’s mindset, and genuine passion for helping founders will be an invaluable amplifier for our community.
