Rodrigo Liang is the CEO and co-founder of SambaNova Systems. Since 2017, the company’s core mission has been to democratize access to AI by making it available to organizations of every size. Accomplishing that requires a full-stack approach encompassing chips, software, and systems that are more flexible and power-efficient than GPU-based technology. Before SambaNova, Rodrigo spent a combined 15 years leading one of the industry’s largest semiconductor engineering teams at Sun Microsystems and Oracle, building high-performance processors for enterprise systems.
