Ron Nelson

I lead engineering organizations that turn applied AI into products, revenue, and enterprise value. Engineering orgs scaled to 190 people across the US, EU, LatAm, and Asia. Platforms my organizations built and ran process $52B in annual claims volume. Multiple AI patents in production. B2B SaaS, insurtech, and fintech, at VC-backed, PE-backed, and public companies, on Azure and AWS. My focus is AI-native engineering: teams and platforms where GenAI, agentic tooling, and LLMs are embedded in how software gets built and shipped, not bolted on. Recent work includes standing up GenAI programs, leading enterprise rollout of an AI developer toolchain, and building adoption frameworks for agentic engineering practices. I'm exploring VP Engineering, Head of Engineering, and senior technology leadership roles at VC, PE-backed or established SaaS companies. Based in Seattle. Open to remote or on-site anywhere in the US. Vertical SaaS · B2B Platforms · Insurtech / Fintech · Applied AI/GenAI · Cloud Architecture (Azure/AWS) · DevX · AI-Native Engineering · PE to IPO
