Jordan Hochenbaum I lead AI at BetterUp: our AI Coach, the agentic systems bringing coaching into daily work, the platform beneath them, and how we build. I also lead our Harness Engineering team, which focuses on getting our engineers working fluently with agents and our agents operating reliably in our codebase. Prior to that, I built the foundation for our ML/AI organization across recsys, search, and personalization, and led engineering for our core coaching product. Earlier in my career I co-founded Kadenze, was CTO at Nirveda Cognition through acquisition, developed Twitter’s anomaly detection algorithm (since open-sourced and adopted as an industry benchmark), taught for a decade as a professor at CalArts, and completed my PhD in multimodal machine learning and music. Through all of it, I’ve stayed hands-on in code.
