We deepen human experiences by partnering with the companies that shape our world

"My goal with Mobi is to build technology that keeps humanity in the loop in our rising age of AI.

Today we have the privilege of working with some of the highest impact hospitality and mobility companies on the planet: companies who are defining how we as a species travel and explore, building tools for them that blend quietly into the background while allowing the world to come to life at their customers’ fingertips. My job is to ensure we have the best team, product, and partners, and that we make every customer substantially more money than we charge them.”

Anna brings more than 12 years experience leading global organizations to solve complex, distributed challenges. She has led teams of more than 500, built an organization with teams on every continent except Antarctica, and been invited to keynote with the Woz, Bill Clinton, and Leonard Nimoy. Her work was featured in a full length documentary on the Discovery Channel, the New York Times, and FastCompany.

"Through the work we do with every solution we find, we have a direct impact on people's lives.

‍

I am confident that our approach will help improve the quality of life of many people at home and while they travel. We are the team behind our customers to support the launch of new products or to significantly improve improve current offerings. We are also collaborators in tackling new business and technical challenges in their industry. This support is bi-directional in many cases and personally very fulfilling: often I found our customers providing valuable feedback for us to discover new problems, solutions, and inspire our path forward.”

Peng did his PhD at MIT in CSAIL, the computer science and artificial intelligence lab, through MERS focused on planning under uncertain conditions. This work took him into the deep sea with WHOI, into the air with Boeing, and into our cities with Toyota. As Mobi’s CTO, he has turned MAPS into a technology platform that in a fraction of a second can solve problems it would traditionally take supercomputers a week to solve.

"My goal is to return real ROI to customers by offering critical capabilities in the beginning of the relationship — and transformational capabilities later on."

Yingxiang joined Mobi after stints planning for Rio in Brazil, transportation in Austria and China, and doing demand prediction for parking with a start-up in San Francisco. At MIT, his work focused on processing digital trace data to understand the intent of individuals — who they were, what they were doing, where they were going, and what they might need. He is constantly pushing his knowledge of the state of the art as well as its limitations, and he keeps the entire team grounded in the reality of where technology can play a role and also where the human mind should dominate.

"Lots of startups want to tackle ‘big interesting problems,’ Mobi actually does. I’m at Mobi because of the quality of crew, the scale of the problem Mobi is tackling, and the freedom to go after the solutions… a hat-trick not easily found elsewhere.

Having been in the center of the digital photography revolution at Avalon, Agfa, and Kodak, I experienced first hand the speed of change. Managing $100M annual deliverables between large pharma for a biotech showed me how to handle the demands of partnerships. Addressing the daily realities of a major airline partner responsible for 10% of the company’s revenue made me understand the importance of being an advocate for the partner inside our company and a representative of our company when working with the partner.

In short, I have experienced the patterns of partnerships, understand the pain points, and can propose paths forward. Mobi’s AI-based B2B personalization technologies are applicable in a broad range of markets. Finding the right partners is as important as enhancing their capabilities with Mobi technologies.”

Wan joined Mobi after earning his black belt in Aikido and managing ITA’s largest customer relationship leading into ITA’s 700M+ sale to Google. Calm, cool, and collected no matter the situation and tremendously experienced at blending high tech into big business processes, Wan is the person to call in any crisis.

"Superior product needs an impeccably managed company in order to deliver its full potential.

‍

At Mobi, I oversee all operations, from creating and delivering on financial forecasts to hiring the most talented and capable team. In addition, I manage contracts and client relationships to ensure every interaction is built on a core of credibility, integrity, flexibility, reliability, and stability. My top priority is to build a company where our clients and consumers hold deep trust and respect for the rewards that our technology provides.”

Mike brings more than 18 years experience as president and COO of KBACE Technologies, which he grew from the ground up to 80M in revenue and more than 300 employees, delivering Oracle Cloud solutions to companies that included Panasonic, General Electric, CBS, Cisco, TJX, PPG, and Hertz.

"I am passionate about leveraging technology to help people get around in a cleaner, safer and more efficient manner.

‍

I am responsible for the development and delivery of Mobi’s machine learning-based software suite that does complex routing, planning, and analytics for business, leisure and day-to-day use cases. At Mobi, I have the opportunity to lead the engineering team to drive growth for our business as well as for our customers.”

Qilong has 15 plus years of experience of leading globally distributed teams to implement high performance on-premises and cloud-based SaaS applications.

Brian joined Mobi’s team as chief scientist to ensure we are always aware of the cutting edge and that any results we return are robust, resilient, and responsive. When not working with Mobi, Brian is a tenured professor at MIT and leader of MIT’s Model-based and Embedded and Robotic Systems Groups. He has been applying the approaches we leverage at Mobi to deep sea exploration, search and rescue, the exploration of space, and autonomous vehicles for more than 20 years. He worked on NASA’s Deep Space One probe flight team, the first program to use fully autonomous, self-repairing explorer, and is on the advisory council at NASA’s JPL labs. He recently stepped down as president of the Executive Council of the International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling.
