About Bo Bao
I build AI-native operating systems for organizations that operate at scale.CTO & CIO, Sequoia Capital ChinaSince 2020, I’ve served as CTO & CIO at Sequoia Capital China, leading the transition from traditional IT to an AI-native operating model.I rebuilt the technology organization from 4 to 40+ engineers, supported by 45+ external consultants, and re-architected internal systems so that data, search, and workflows are LLM-ready by design.I led early adoption of LLMs and autonomous agents across the investment lifecycle, spanning sourcing, due diligence, research, and post-investment management. This included structured data refactoring, semantic search, and autonomous research agents that synthesize internal and external data into actionable insights.These systems enabled the investment team to manage 80+ subsectors and operate a new billion-dollar fund without adding headcount, while materially improving decision speed and institutional memory.AWS Professional ServicesPrior to Sequoia, I worked at AWS Professional Services, leading high-stakes enterprise transformations across finance, manufacturing, airlines, and consumer industries.As DevOps Practice Manager in Greater China, I owned mission-critical engagements and translated executive objectives into scalable cloud and DevOps strategies. The programs and accounts I led contributed to ~70% of regional bookings and ~50% of revenue, supported by ~37% of the delivery headcount, driven by long-term customer trust and repeat engagements.Foundations in Large-Scale SystemsEarlier in my career, I built mission-critical, high-throughput systems at AWS and Bloomberg, processing terabytes of data per hour, handling hundreds of millions of events per second, and contributing to #1 market-share trading platforms.This background shapes how I build AI systems today: reliability-first, performance-aware, and designed to scale from day one.How I WorkI operate across code, architecture, organization design, and executive decision-making, with a focus on- Turning ambiguity into scalable systems- Bridging investors, executives, and engineers- Embedding AI directly into workflows, not layering it on topMy current focus is on Agentic AI, AI-native organizations, and decision systems for capital allocation.
