About Laila Danielsen
I build companies that take frontier technology out of the lab and into the real world at global scale. I’m a repeat founder with multiple exits in enterprise AI. Most recently, I co-founded Elliptic Labs, took the company public, and scaled its AI platform to nearly one billion devices across multiple verticals.I kicked off my career as a professional soccer player in Japan, which shaped how I think about discipline, execution, and building teams that win together, and shaped the way I lead: developing strong, independent people and building a culture people choose to stay for.I’ve led teams across Fortune 500 companies and high-growth startups, and lived and operated across Europe, North America, and Asia. I’ve built strategic partnerships with global leaders including Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Lenovo, and Xiaomi, collaborating across cultures to turn deep tech into real-world impact.
