Previously, Adam was VP Engineering at Verticalnet (enterprise software) and Dejima (mobile software).

Testimonials

“Adam presented to 700 of our top IT clients. They had a great experience as he explained the past present and future of AI. Adam was funny, engaging, and even did an incredible magic trick that we still can’t figure out.”

Finnur Oddsson
CEO of Nÿherji

Adam Cheyer was down to earth, humble, and great with socializing with everyone. Lots of people found his presentation on Siri inspiring and he stayed the entire night to network with the founders and team. He even joined the after-party! Loved his magic tricks and I hope we get to have him again.”
