João Wenzel’s Expertise Product and engineering leader with 10 YOE in the R&D to Product pipeline. Proven experience in bringing new products to market in web3 and AI by building scrappy teams, leading with a strong thesis, and always being data-driven. I've built and led teams across some of the most successful companies in web2 (Google, Netflix) and web3 (Protocol Labs, Jump Trading). At Jump, my job is a fascinating blend of partnerships, investments, and product. My passion is to bring deep technical innovations to market in products that provide true utlity and delight users. My focus is on identifying high potential opportunities made possible by decentralized infrastructure and providing the support they need to be successful (building a team, incubating an idea, bringing it to market, etc.). Previously, I led a team at Protocol Labs responsible for driving adoption of decentralized storage. Before I got sucked into the crypto/web3 rabbit hole, I was in the AI world. At Netflix, my team built technologies that enabled content to be truly global: from ML-assisted translation to “deep fakes” aimed at improving lip sync. At Google Research, I co-founded a team exploring the application of large language models and other generative AI (before it was cool) to launch a consumer in the education space. I led a team of 20+ in building a product at the intersection of education and artificial intelligence that helps English learners speak more confidently. I pride myself in being a highly technical PM leader with strong business acumen. I enjoy getting my hands dirty in code, data, and architectures. I’ve built things across an extremely diverse range of industries and problem spaces and I am confident in my ability to learn quickly. Previous experience (reverse order): > PM responsible for “Artist Growth”: helping establish YouTube as the best place for artists to connect with their fans and build their audience. > Data scientist in YouTube’s Strategy team where I led efforts in music content licensing and the launch of a music streaming service (YouTube Music) globally. > I was an Anti-Abuse Analyst in Google's Trust and Safety team where I developed algorithms to identify abusive behavior and fake accounts. I completed my postgraduate studies at the University of Oxford where I got an MSc in Social Science of the Internet. I concentrated on the application of quantitative methods like network analysis to study emergent social phenomena.
