ABOUT GREGORY PUCKETT

I\'m passionate about building and connecting – whether it\'s driving innovation in transportation or contributing to my community. At Waymo, where I\'ve been for the past seven years, my focus is on realizing the potential of autonomous driving to improve safety and mobility. I\'m energized by tackling complex challenges and creating impactful solutions, an approach that shapes both my professional and community work.That drive to build and connect is central to my commitment to Arizona. I\'m privileged to serve as Chair of the Board at The Opportunity Tree, dedicated to empowering adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and strengthening our community. I\'m also thrilled to serve on the Board of Directors at Ballet Arizona, where I blend my strategic thinking with a lifelong love for the arts. I naturally tend to consider diverse perspectives and enjoy weaving together different ideas to foster understanding and creative solutions.Originally from California and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida, I\'ve been proud to call Arizona home for the past 16 years. My passion for the arts is a constant; my early study of orchestral percussion instilled a deep respect for the dedication and power of performance. With degrees in Systems Engineering, I bring an analytical approach, but I\'m also energized by collaboration. Those who know me well often describe me as talkative and outgoing. Beyond work and community, I cherish time with my wife, Chandler, and our two daughters in Scottsdale, enjoying the arts, great food, and the pursuit of perfect espresso.
