ABOUT DJ THOMPSON

I am currently a Technical Account Manager for Strategic accounts at Scale AI, working with some of the largest pioneers in LLM and AI development to optimize their training and RLHF strategies and leverage best-in-class technology and operations to create massive improvements in accuracy and applications for new models. Prior to Scale, I was a Product Lead at Axion Ray, working with customers across a gamut of pre-sales, post-sales, product management, and technical execution functions to build a startup with fewer than 10 US employees to >8x its ARR in just six months. Before Axion, I led the Value Insights and Analytics team at Slack (now Salesforce) for four years, pioneering a program to provide advanced analytics and organizational network analysis support to go-to-market teams in Sales and Success that generated >$24M in incremental revenue off of our cutting-edge research and analytics products. Prior to Slack, I worked as a Product Development Associate for McKinsey & Co. in San Francisco, using my mix of machine learning toolkit and executive presence and polish to deliver client results across a range of industries - from multivitamins and warehouses to electric vehicles and semiconductors. I graduated from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business with an MBA in 2017, and I am an Air Force veteran with 5+ years experience in intelligence analysis. I’m a team player and a team builder, I switch quickly between technical detail and polished presentation, and I’m passionate about driving value in product-led companies.
