About Abhiram Desai

I build products at the intersection of AI and human need — and I\'ve spent the last few years quietly doing exactly that before it had a title. At Amazon, I manage programs where data, automation, and cross-functional alignment determine whether products ship and scale. Before that, I was deep in the details: at Philips, I translated clinical workflows and field data into deployment decisions for an AI-powered ultrasound tool funded by the Gates Foundation — work that literally shaped how and where a medical AI reached underserved communities. That experience taught me something core: the hardest part of AI product work isn\'t the model. It\'s the translation layer — turning messy real-world signals into decisions a system can act on, and decisions a user can trust. What I bring to AI PM roles: • End-to-end ownership: I\'ve taken AI products from conception through post-launch iteration, not just written PRDs • Technical depth: MS in Data Analytics Engineering, hands-on SQL/Python/AWS — I can read a model card and pressure-test an engineering estimate• Trust-first thinking: I\'ve shipped AI in healthcare and mental health — I know what it means to get guardrails right• Speed with rigor: 0→1 products at both startup pace (Abecedarian) and Amazon scale I\'m looking for my next AI PM role — ideally where AI is core to the product, not bolted on. Open to B2B and B2C, early-stage and growth.
