Tilke Judd is an AI Product Leader spanning big tech and startups. She spent 12+ years at Google on Search, the original Google Assistant, and YouTube, then became the Founding Product Manager at Cradle, a biotech startup using machine learning to help biologists design proteins. She is now Head of Product at Benetics, a Zurich startup putting AI to work on the construction site. She believes the best innovation happens at the intersection of domains, and she keeps moving toward the next intersection where AI can do something new.

She completed her Bachelor's in Math and PhD in Computer Graphics at MIT, all while competing as a ballroom dancer. Originally from the United States, she now lives in Zurich, where she and her French husband chase their 11-year-old twins around the Swiss mountains — hiking, biking, climbing, and skiing.
