About Tianqi Zhou

I\'m a Senior Product Manager with a full-stack background at the intersection of Technology, Design, and Business. With 7+ year of industry experience, my expertise spans AI, robotics, e-commerce, customer growth, and global expansion, with hands-on experience in both software and hardware, across B2B & B2C products in AI unicorn startups and big tech (Amazon, Alibaba).With dual master’s degrees from MIT in Computer Science and Integrated Design & Management, I’ve built a strong foundation in engineering, business strategy, and human-centered design, shaping how I build innovative, scalable, and user-centered AI-driven products. What Makes Me Unique? A True Full-Stack PM → I’ve worked as a Product Manager, UX Designer, and Developer, building AI-powered, customer-centric products across software & hardware, B2B & B2C, and both 0→1 innovation & 1→100 scaling in startups and big tech in both China and US. Bridging AI & Business Strategy → In 2015, during the first wave of Deep Learning, I joined DeepGlint as an early employee, one of only two PMs figuring out how to monetize AI when no clear business model existed—similar to today’s GenAI boom. I led the development of AI-powered video analytics, which became the company’s cash cow and helped it go public—a skill highly relevant in today’s LLM & AI-driven markets. Proven 0→1 Builder & 1→100 Scaler → 0→1 at DeepGlint (AI startup, went public): Built AI-powered video analytics from 0→1, which became the company’s core revenue driver. 0→1 at Ling Technology (robotics startup): Built LingLight (voice assistant lamp), Luka (reading robot,#1 bestseller in China), and Jibo (social robot, featured on TIME magazine). 0→1 at Amazon (global expansion): Led marketing, deals, promotions & pricing strategy to launch Amazon Belgium & South Africa from 0→1, driving 2M+ customers & $360M GMS. 1→100 at Amazon (customer growth in emerging markets): Scaled ML-driven engagement programs to increase settled customers by 20% across India, LATAM, MENA, Europe, and APAC. Global Experience & Deep Customer Insights → I’ve worked in China & the U.S, launching products for China, the U.S, India, Africa, MENA, Europe, LATAM, and APAC. I understand regional customer needs, market dynamics, and how to lead global cross-functional teams. I am passionate about designing the future of Human-AI Interaction—how humans engage with LLMs, agents, and AI-powered products and scale AI-first experiences globally. Let’s connect and explore how AI, robotics, and digital experiences will shape the future!
