About Joshua Katz

Emerging technologies strategist with a foundation in MBB consulting, investment banking, and a Kellogg MBA. My toolkit is built on financial modeling, strategic analysis, and experience deploying artificial intelligence workflows in real business contexts.I began my career in investment banking at Boenning & Scattergood, where I developed core financial skills and hands-on deal experience. These early foundations shaped my analytical approach to solving complex business problems.At Kellogg, I focused on finance, strategy, and the economics of innovation, building my interest in how emerging technologies like AI are reshaping industries.At Bain & Company, I completed ~15 commercial due diligences and 5 growth strategy cases across advanced manufacturing, SaaS, and AI. I contributed to Bain’s early AI capability by leading a generative AI workshop for a Fortune 100 board and serving on a committee that partnered with OpenAI to embed LLMs into consulting workflows.I currently work at Meta Reality Labs as a Product Strategy Lead, where I focus on mixed reality content, embodied AI, and robotics. I partner with product and research teams to shape long-term strategy, build market frameworks, and guide how generative AI is integrated into both virtual and physical environments.
