About Duncan Pratt
I build and scale product organizations that turn complex technology into category-defining platforms — from ideation to $1B+. I\'m obsessed with helping customers and teams break boundaries and expand what\'s possible with automation and technology. Over 15 years across Amazon Robotics, Cognex, and GE, I\'ve led multi-product portfolios at the intersection of AI, machine vision, and industrial automation — managing $250M+ in capital investments, deploying of production units globally. I specialize in: multi-product platform architecture, AI product strategy, P&L ownership, and building high-performing teams from scratch. I\'ve influenced $1B+ in capital decisions at Amazon, driven consistent YoY growth at Cognex, and built and led large global teams across all my roles.
