Shama Keskar is a 3X founder, multi-startup CTO, and agentic AI builder with 15+ years scaling products and engineering teams across Google, LinkedIn, and Amazon. She started her career leading quality for Google's Online Advertising platform — 98% of company revenue — before pioneering Alexa automation at Amazon and launching the company's first physical grocery and fashion stores.
As a founder, Shama co-founded Nickelytics and led it from idea to an eight-figure exit in under three years. She then co-founded SignAI and built its generative ASL interpreter — 93% accuracy, under 4-second latency, 5,500× faster than prior approaches — securing $800K+ in funding. She is now co-founder & CTO of Suede, an agentic ingestion platform transforming how independent fashion retailers process wholesale orders and get inventory to market.
Shama is currently an EIR at the AI2 Incubator in Seattle and a founder mentor at Plug & Play, Founder Institute, and Level Up Ventures. She has been recognized as a Top Women Leader of 2025, Women in Tech Global Awards 2025 Nominee, and one of the 30 Most Impressive CTOs in Mobile Advertising.
