About Marc Whitten

I have spent my career building and scaling the platforms that define how people play, create, and interact with each other and where tech is the tool, not the purpose. From the living room (Xbox, Fire TV, Sonos) to the creative economy (Unity) and now the physical world (Autonomous Vehicles, Embodied AI), I focus on turning complex emerging technologies into beloved products, deep ecosystems, and real businesses.My expertise lies in bridging the gap between deep technical innovation and commercial P&L reality. I have led organizations ranging from founding engineering teams to divisions with billions in revenue and thousands of employees.I am driven by the hard problems: How do we humanize AI? How do we build experiences that feel magical? How do we build extraordinary teams and missions and empower them to do their best work?
