About Tad Martin

As a visionary leader with over 20 years of experience in tech, I am passionate about driving innovation and growth. My career began in the early days of ecommerce, where I revolutionized the retail space. More recently, I have been at the forefront of the AI revolution, using the power of technology to solve real-world problems.As co-founder and CEO of Collective[i] we believe that when knowledge is shared, everyone wins. Our name—Collective Intelligence—reflects our mission to help companies, sales professionals, and connectors prosper. We’ve built the first foundation model for the enterprise economy, generating intelligence that improves decision-making across sales, marketing, supply chain, hiring, finance, and operations. Beyond our AI-driven applications, we support collaboration through intelligence.com and Collective[i] Forecast, helping people connect and share insights. Our model, applications, APIs, AI agents, and chatbot (\"Telli\") are designed to expand opportunities and strengthen human connections. Backed by entrepreneurs with over $2 billion in exits and supported by an A-list team and advisors, and a community of passionate Connectors, together we are building the future of enterprise intelligence.Prior to Collective[i], I was head of Operations and Merchandising for Overstock.com, where I helped the company scale to over $800M in annual sales. I also played a pivotal role in securing Salt Lake City\'s bid for the 2002 Winter Olympics.With a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Utah, I am committed to using my skills and experience to make a difference in the world. I currently reside in Palo Alto, and I am always looking for new opportunities to innovate and drive growth.
