Trevor O'Brien

Trevor O'Brien Experienced founder and product development leader with expertise in AI, machine-learning, collaborative creative tools, graphics and simulation. I currently lead product development across a number of agentic AI experiences for M365 Copilot. Specific efforts include Agent Mode in Excel, Survey Agent, Analyst Agent, and the multimedia Create experience in the M365 app. Previously, I was cofounder and CEO of Projector — a multiplayer collaborative, multimedia graphic design platform — through three rounds of VC funding ($23M in total) and a successful acquisition by Medium. I've served as a product leader at Coda, Twitter, Vine, YouTube, and Google, building and leading exceptional teams. At Twitter, I led several areas of the core consumer product and helped launch the first machine-learned ranking of the home timeline (known as "While You Were Away"). At YouTube, I led the search and discovery product area during a transformative chapter in YouTube's history, shaping a channel-centric platform. I built the first channel discovery systems, re-shaped the YouTube homepage, and launched the first machine-learned recommendation systems for related videos and personalized recommendation
