Wayve Co-founder and CEO

I founded Wayve in 2017 to bring embodied AI to the physical world. We build the foundation models that let vehicles drive themselves — deploying with consumer cars and robotaxis globally. If you're excited by our mission, we're hiring for roles across our global team.

I grew up in the South Island of New Zealand spending most of my time on adventures in the mountains or building technology.

Before Wayve, I was at Cambridge and worked on some of the first end-to-end deep learning approaches to computer vision and robotics — a selection of my publications are below.
