About Tarani Duncan
I’m a product and operations leader with over a decade of experience in deep tech. From robotics and AI-powered logistics to alternative energy, I’ve helped launch and scale technologies that moved from early experiments to everyday use.At IBM, I shape strategy for the Product Experience team, working on WatsonX and Open Core to bring AI and ambient intelligence into enterprise operations, while giving developers tools to build AI-native technologies. I also lead partnerships that strengthen IBM’s role in accelerated computing, enterprise AI, and open-source innovation.Previously, I led product at Bloom, Croft, and Compound Eye, with earlier roles at Mapbox, JUMP (acquired by Uber), and Citibike, guiding teams building platforms that redefined how people and goods move through the world.I thrive at the intersection of design, engineering, and product, building pragmatic teams and systems that turn unconventional ideas into everyday magic.
